Sad

When
My sons
Were deeply
Depressed as only
A child may honestly be
I’d remind them of our version
Of the old Saint Trinian’s fight song.
Our version,
Smash ‘em
Bash ‘em
Make ‘em feel sad,
Knock ‘em down
Beat ‘em up
Make ‘em feel bad.
And so,
To all those adults
Pill bottles clutched
In hand do take them
One and all and
Rid us of your
Incessant
Whimpering
Or better yet
Find your own
Version of the
St Trinian’s
Old 1950s
Fight song but
Do ignore the movie
Remake which will put
You on even more meds
As it is so depressingly 2009.
