The best part of my life was the days I spent in my school and here is a poem as testimony SCHOOL TIMES Destiny takes us we know not where But we carry our memories there School times, classmates loads of fun Exams done accolades won. Driving teachers round the bend Teasing, jeering it had no end “Stand on the bench” they’d scream away But from them we would run away Lunch time spent in running around In the baking sun till the ball was found The recess over, back to the class Striving for those marks to pass Some were always upto pranks Competing for those tempting ranks Pushing prodding to come out first If one failed the tears would burst Classmates are a wonderful gift Try your best stop the drift Teachers, masters ever so kind Tough it was to leave them behind So many years of endless joy Fun and frolic boy oh boy! Dramas, rehearsals, singing galore I wish those years were here once more

Fun days indeed. I guess for me it was my college days that were more fun. We just had a reunion and it was even more fun.

A very lively and readable poem which ably conveys the indomitable spirit and joy in companionship of school days. 10/10! Go to the top of the class!

I find myself wondering if the students of today have near as much fun as we did. We had really good recesses and field trips and lots of programs. Now, at least in the US, they barely have time to eat and they rush rush rush to learn the material for the tests.

@GardenGerty Nothing like meeting one's childhood associates.

Even after so many years we classmates get together. I started this and it is now continuing.

This is great, I loved it. A very well crafted poem which took me straight back to my own school days . Though personally I don't wish those years back, I would rather go back to my twenties.

Thank you. To each their own I guess. I loved those days as we were a small community but did not much care for college days as there we had to face so many from other areas.
