6 years wasted in a plebian school.<br />
Gagging always for the shift unattainable,<br />
Eternal hypocracies of which unexplainable.<br />
The Grammar School which he so desires<br />
(aspires to be, and wholeheartedly admires)<br />
Was once a place he abhorred and despised;<br />
A place which was once the norm to deride.<br />
But what could cause this sudden change of face<br />
(as easy as it is to put him back in his place)?<br />
Though many other factors certainly fed it,<br />
Trinity College takes most of the credit.<br />
It was here he found himself completely surrounded<br />
By people more intelligent and extremely well grounded.<br />
For Trinity College just equals the Grammar;<br />
Pomp and splendour with a sprinkling of glamour.<br />
This place, one would think, is somewhere he should hate.<br />
But alas, dear friends, he couldn’t help but relate.<br />
The pomposity he yearned for all his life,<br />
The splendour keeping his dreams alight.<br />
When asked for his opinion on his past,<br />
He sat down and smiled, after appearing aghast.<br />
For Mr. Davey was playing it cool.<br />
“Though 6 years were wasted in a plebian school,<br />
A life more fulfilled, of that I believe,<br />
Than a life at the Grammar School could ever achieve.”<br />

This poem is basically about a friend of mine who went to a public school and has a major hangup on other students who had a private education. I find it hilarious that he has such strong opinions on the subject so I decided to write a parody about him :P<br />
