1 " Any DayWiped clean by times stumbling gateReflecting toward my inner hateI see sweet life spring anewI touch a birth with what I doAs the dawn's warming raysMelt morning's beguiling hazeI realize the truth of liesA new year's hope with spirit fliesI wake the same as every dayI speak the words I always sayI see the sky the same againAnd now know change comes only whenA choice is made in spite of timeA goal is set without a chimeChoice renders void the voiceTo hearken in a New Year's choice "

2 " I pen you words from my heart
neither paper nor pen would do
as I lay them out in flowery fonts
what more could you ask for
as I am writing in your heart
the love that I want to endure
I am no Keats nor am I anyone but me
a poetess longing for your touch
get lost with me in my words
as I serenade you with a forever quill. "

― Chimnese Davids

3 " The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat -
And there isn't any call for me to shout it:
For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it! "

― T.S. Eliot , Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

5 " Bloody rain” says Mr Chivers
Bouncing a basketball
On the one dry patch of court
bloody rain” he nods to our Sports class
And gives us the afternoon off.
Bloody rain all right
As Annabel and I run to Megalong Creek hut
Faster than we ever have in Chivers’s class
And the exercise we have in mind
We’ve been training for all year
But I doubt if old Chivers
Will give us a medal if he ever finds out.
We high jump into the hut
And strip down
Climb under the blankets
And cheer the bloody rain
As it does a lap or two
Around the mountain
While Annabel and me
Embrace like winners should
Like good sports do
As Mr. Chivers sips his third coffee
And twitches his bad knee
From his playing days
While miles away
Annabel and I
Score a convincing victory
And for once in our school life
The words “Physical Education”
Make sense… "
