| I Propose
Chivalrous knights throughout the age, On bended knees they propose, Doth thou take I for all our life, Truly art the fairest of all rose. Answer me do, my sweet lady, For mine ears thou must reply, My hand that offers eternity, Tis a moment for and never why. Thou art my lady-in-waiting, Such an errant, I have to know, I now kiss the hand in honour, For love that shall always grow. |

| Pirates
Swashbuckling savagery upon the 7 C's, A syllabus designed for the under threes. Pinstripe dunces dictate the future, The underprivileged they want to butcher. Blackbeard chiefs who failed the test, Their office windows, their crow's-nest. Through their telescope, another ship, Another school they want to whip. Anchor's away and Land Ahoy! They inspect another cabin boy. On the ship he scrubs the deck, Yardarm pupils hang by the neck. Upon the desks they walk the plank, A teacher seems to have no rank. Cost of learning, they have to cut, Frostbite lessons within a hut. Jolly Roger, in a secret deal, Children go hungry without a meal. Tied to the mast with the whips that flay, Keelhauled overboard, no school today. |

| Elements
What colour is the sky? It once was blue before, The chemicals ripped and tore, The clouds that want to roar, The ozone layer's sore, A sky that's black and grey, With an orange that starts the day. What colour are the fields? They once were green before, It's belt unfastened more, The grass is a concrete floor, A tree is someone's door, A field that's graffiti-stone, With a dirty yellow tone. What colour is the sea? It once was blue before, The waste passed through its door, The sewerage pumps that pour, Marine life swim no more, A sea that's rusty-brown, With polka oil-drops now abound. |
