Hiding in the Toilets
By Tish
08 May 2006
Hello!
This is like part two of The day I bunked off School. And I really did write this in a toilet, so its true story.
Enjoy!Tongue out




                                         Hiding in the Toilets

                           
I feel ill because my stomach is twisted with fear
My head feels dizzy
I'm anxious to get out of here

I'm ashamed to say
That I'm writing this in a
toilet cubical
Waiting for the clock to strike 10:35
So I can escape
And pretend I was never here

Every time I hear footsteps
 in the corridoor
I tense up
And get ready to surrender
And put my hands up

As you can see. I'm bunking class
Bunking class in the toilets
(Not a nice place to be)
Bunking English
Teacher Mr Harris

I use to hide in the toilets to avoid doing PE.  
 
I believe that our PE master had a chip on his shoulder because the rest of the staff including the other PE teachers looked down on him because he didn't have a degree. 
 
So he took it out on us. 
 
Hiding in the Toilets-The more things change the more they stay the same (it sounds better in French but I always get it wrong.)

cathartic?

Blimey do kids still do that? As BRN says nothing changes. Doesn't sound as if you enjoyed it much,you must have been desparate. 
I used to do it but I was in a girls school run by nuns so the cubicle doors were the only source of sex education we had,the more explicit ones were booked up weeks ahead.At least you didn't have that problem. 
Anyway I hope the poem was a cathartic experience for you and that your next will be more current
