PREFECTS ON THE BALCONY
Upon our sunny balcony, the Prefects great and wise,
Love to stand and nod their heads, watched by our envious eyes.
And far down here beneath them, we little children stay,
And sometimes a contemptuous glance, is cast upon our way,
By some great, stately Prefect, with such a haughty air,
Who always gives our boots a look, as we come up the stair,
And if they are not strictly clean, then down at once we go.
And it is always wisest to rub them till they glow.
These prefects are unbearable, but bear them we just must,
And we can all look forward to, with very ardent lust.
That cherished, distant, far off time, when we may be,
Great and stately Prefects on the High School balcony.
Poem by "1A's Budding Poet" from the December 1940 edition of the Kingia magazine.
