Surrounded by darkness and dangers unseen,
As the sweat trickles down him in many ways a stream,
He braves death and dangers to earn a bit bread,
While others stay snugly and warm in their bed.

And we ate a cream cake bun.

Gave me a cup of tea.

Always said no.

Saved me from a bee hive.

School memories
I remember, I remember,
The swimming lessons in year three,
The science test they gave us,
And all the best things about me.
I remember, I remember,
Miss Mangle in year four,
The way she helped me in class,
Wanting to help me more.
I remember, I remember,
The best teacher in class five,
How he had to help us,
And he helped me stay alive.
I remember, I remember,
Little Chloe in year six,
My best friend who always stayed by me,
And all my problems she helped me fix.
