PAULITE WEB - Poems By Tony Davies
Heroes And Villans
Who sneaked out of King Arthur dorm?
And went into town, showing such bad form!
An empty bed, discovered by chance,
Leading teachers on a merry dance ……

No ……….. It wasn't me!

Caught red handed on his return to school,
Met by teachers he'd tried to fool.
Pillows under blankets are such "old hat",
He couldn't hope to fool them like that …..

But …….That wasn't me!

Who hid on the khudside having a fag ?
Risking all for a crafty drag!
Trying so hard to hide the smoke,
Treating it all as one big joke ……..

No! ………… It wasn't me!

Who scored a goal against the run of play ?
Not realising he'd scored the wrong way!
Who put the ball into his own net?
Mentioning no names, but you can bet ………

Err! ………… That was me!

Who took two wickets, the first time he bowled ?
The truth, they said, was the batsmen were "cold"!
The ball was so slow that, try as they may,
They couldn't hit it, on that glorious day! …………..

Yeah! …….. That was me!

We had our heroes, in those days gone by,
Those we placed on pedestals high!
Someone we stood and watched in awe,
But, hand on heart, I can say for sure …….

No! ………… It wasn't me!!!
