When I was at school 🤣

Kids wouldn’t believe what went on back in my day

Tho I reckon it taught us discipline
It didn’t do us any harm in a way

Crikey moses I would be sat minding my own business in the classroom

When from out-of-the-blue there would be an almignty ZOOM!!!

Mrs Clements, one of our form teachers,
she would pick-up the hard black board eraser

Then direct it where she wanted and throw it like a quasar

Well it didn’t necessarily hit the kid that she meant, though she threw that weapon with ill intent

God help the nipper that it did contact, It would hurt like hell and that is a fact

Abuse was common from teacher’s in our school, It was part of normality so very usual as a rule

I myself wasn’t immune, coz I got pelted with a silver spoon

I wouldn’t care but it wasn’t aimed at me, I was sat behind the lad where it had supposed to be

Well this silver spoon hit the top of my arm, I had a bruise for a while so it did cause harm

Our head teacher, Mr Sampy used to knuckle us on the head, now this was something we all did dread

He would use his fist if you get my gist, Mercy me this hurt like hell and for nothing at all I got this as well!!

But strangely enough I admired our teachers, It was just what life was like back then
Yet I can’t say it did us any harm
It probably made the boys to be men

We looked up to our elders, treated them with respect

There was none of today’s health and safety nor Politically correct

We played outside in the dirt till it was dark, kicking balls on the roads and hanging out in the park

It’s a darn right shame for the children of today, they don’t have the life we had
