the school caretaker
In the corner of the playground
down dark and slimy stairs,
lived a monster with a big nose
full of curly hairs.
He had a bunch of key rings
carved out of little boys,
he confiscated comics
and all our favourite toys.
He wore a greasy uniform,
looked like an undertaker,
more scary than a horror film,
he was the school caretaker.
I left the school some years ago;
saw him again the other day.
he looked rather sad and old
shuffling on his way.
It's funny when you grow up
how grown-ups started growing down,
and the snarls upon their faces
are no more than a frown.
In the corner of the playground
down the dark and slimy stairs,
sits a lonely little man
with a nose full or curly hairs
