do you happen to remember that end of term report?
No
and neither do my parents.

my excuses were hand crafted
teacher was sick, his dog was sick,
his parents were sick
so
I could pick any one and try it on.

mostly but not in the main
the excuses rolled out
but
tended to be the same
and
so did I.

it took a long time to
iron the kinks out.
