Bushes quiver

where shadows lean,

and not a sliver

of moon is seen.

Near the river

some goblins (green)

with a witch in front

and a ghost in between

Make me sh..i..vvvver,

but I am keen

about the shivers

of Halloween.

(Gloucester Cathedral) 

This England blessed with green countryside

Can there be anywhere quite so fair

Country lanes to wonder just to take the air

Oh this England beauty everywhere

She stands with her coastline looking out to sea

Watching waves break into white horses

As they rush to return to thee

Oh this England beauty everywhere

The Northern fells for climbing with healthy heart and sole

Vision of serenity looking down on lakes and dales

Spectacular images will stay until the dying day

Oh this England beauty everywhere

People are born to depart on their last farewell

Along with all creatures they have their final day

Places are forever here to stay and stay

Oh this England beauty everywhere

All over England there is beauty to pass on

How magnificent for thee who have to come

Each generation will bask in England’s welcome

Oh this England beauty everywhere

Reginald Stanley Birch

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;

You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup.

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

A time to rejuice your batteries
eat alot and clog up the arteries

celebrate with a little for a change
now you are out of school work's range

rejoice, you have a week to rest
you can now sleep at your best

but don't get lazy, do a little hard work now
show everyone that you still know how

have some fun in the soft soothing sun
you'll be sad when the week is done

but till then be happy, never despair again
remember schoolwork to you is foreign

i wish you the happiest of spring breaks
have some fun, no matter what it takes
