Press on the number to see a picture for each haiku.

Schoolyard snowmen show

What teachers tell: carrot and

Stick can both work well.

For whom the bell tolls

It’s lunch break; sausage rolls in

School canteens, with beans.

School rugby?  Not me.

Hughie Pugh is six foot two.

I am five foot three.

(School rugby? Yippee!!

Hughie Pugh is five foot two  

I am six foot three.)

“So, this prank was ….. whose?”

They fidget and they shuffle

And stare at their shoes. 

Ancient castles, their

Kings and fools now replaced by

Visitors from schools.

Links forged in the white

Heat of youth, secure and strong

Many decades on.
