coyleys   10 #33 Posted February 18, 2009 Anyone remember the school and pupils id like to hear from you i left in 1967  Yep! I went there; left Wybourn school in 1968, lived on Maltravers Cres, for some 20 years, then about 3 years on Wybourn house Rd, and then my parole came through.

coyleys   10 #34 Posted February 18, 2009 It may, now sound a bit condescending, but these were my thoughts back in the dark days. I have since mellowed, and now realise, they were hard times but good times.   Reflections of Wybourn School  Building so bleak, so cold and grey. Try as we may to stay away. Compulsory attendance was forced upon. By rulers so draconian.  Corporal punishment the order of the day In reward for obedience, such a cliché. Such dogma alone the cause to rebel No incentive at all to make one excel  The slash of the cane the sting of the slipper The smile on the face of the one who delivers Illiterate our destiny from point of birth Our mark not to make upon this earth  I reflect on life that may have been And of the great difference I may have seen Had we not been meek and so poor A scholar of poetry of that I’m sure.  But back down to earth, I am what I am And to fight ignorance as best I can The austerity of life so cold and cruel With innocence of youth we let them rule.  But one day we know our turn will come And make a vow, our seed not to succumb Parental nature, being to learn from our past And give them knowledge, knowledge to last.  And so we go to our maker, blessed in thought Our children are safe, in the way that we taught No longer the stigma we have to conceal That, we take to our grave, and never to reveal. © Mick Coyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
