Playground Blues.

Winner stays on; bell has gone; looks like Champion is our John.

Clock is ticking; defender is nicking; choice of the picking.

Up steps Daz;

gives it to Gaz;

who crosses to Saz.

The goal is gaping; the truants vaping; all of a sudden net is shaking.

The cries are heard from afar; teacher shouts, “nul point”;

Damn – VAR.

Is education all about acronymns?

Pseudonyms, nymphs of letters and things.
