Poetry
APLE
I stood
Melancholy and mystified
Clutching the polished piano
As other children played about me.
No play for me:
My spelling was wrong -
At least she said it was.
I was content
That a-p-l-e spelt 'apple'
As well as I wanted.
But she, a teacher
Thought she knew better.
With all the authority
Of my full five years
I fought back my tears,
Prepared again
To hold my shaky ground.

They won't let me ever do nothing again
Not now that I'm going to school;
They tell me there's maths,
