Really, there’s always one place in
Every library that you can get all the answers
From atlases to chronicles to news articles
Every bit of info is there – which is why the
Revered keepers of these books keep them from leaving the library
Even keeping them in their own section
Now, the good news is – you can access them
Choice reading handy for homework – just don’t
Expect to walk home with them – they’re staying in the library
I
Building blocks of different shape and colour
Teach all sorts of useful skill
And its lots of fun when they fall over
II
They might call you a marvel of language
but you’ve got to engage with the locals
if you want to order your lunch
III
Your eye is the best judge
but don’t be disheartened
if that pear looks like a plum
add a peach to the fruitbowl instead
IV
Picking a subject
taking a shot
if you’re not happy with your shot
there’s always the delete button
or perhaps you could edit it at home ?
V
Yellow tennis ball
perfect thing for practicing
reflex actions
catching out in the field
(The red cork ball – saved for match day)

We’ve all played the board game of snakes and ladders before
The idea is you roll the dice, go up the ladders and down the snakes
all very straight forward , but has anyone tried playing it the other way round ?
Where you go up the snakes and down the ladders ?
It’s just as fun – and requires a lot of concentration – as you hit a ladder at the top and find yourself going down it instead of up.
We played it both ways – the reverse game is a lot more challenging.

If i could go back to school, to master a subject – i reckon it would be Geography i’d do
Not English or History (even though i’ve got an interest in those subjects) – Geography.
You see, even though i’ve made my way through the toughest routefinder map, i still have my doubts how all those lines determine height and depth. It would interest me no end on how those maps of mine translate to modern day life.
It might also fill an hour (or two) of my day. with some unofficial field trips to the pennines and lake district 🙂

two friends locked in a meeting of minds
heads of two mighty armies
engaging in rank from rook through to queen
keeping an eye over each army
is the ruler of the of the land at either end
night facing off against day in a battle royale
grey matter in play, as tactics employed

Many need one , a person to
Elecute an idea as you’re
Navigating your own path
Through a new job, or course
Of course – they’ve been through the process themselves
Roads experienced – so they’ll guide you round the obstacles

There’s plenty of space to rest your fingers
On the neck of your average guitar
Notes are sounded by the position on the strings
Excellent sounds can be achieved if you put them in the right place
(! and if you get it wrong the first time – you can always try again – Don’t Fret !)

Coming to a big decision is
Really down to you
Of course, you have the choices laid out for you
Smorgasbord of things to do , and places to go
Some helpful advice from teachers, academics and of course, family
Reactions from friends – expected – they might be sad but
Over time – they’ll respect your decision
After you’ve weighed up all the advice
Dont panic – and
Somehow you’ll go down the right path
A few thoughts by inky on todays daily prompt
Sat in a room, lined with literary works
The lad peers through his assessment
Understandably, he might not produce the works of Keats this evening, but with
Dutiful observance, and conscientious research – he might just do well at his
Year Tutors Assessment of his work
Sat behind old wooden desks in a grand hall
instructions are given out to the candidates before they
look at the questions set out before them
each can approach the tasks the way they want but
no one can discuss the questions
that isn’t allowed….it’s not a group task!
