SCHOOL’S OUT

For Friday Flash 55
And
Sunday Scribblings 'Alchemy' - the only way my Dad can explain it!


REPORT

FIRST THE FACTS IN 55

Yesterday, Friday, I finished school for the year and received my end-of-year report.
I came joint third in my class of thirty one pupils.
I’m eight years old in a class of ten and eleven year olds.
Top to bottom, the subjects are as follows:

Thai
Math
Science
Religion
Biology
Art
Technology
English



Here’s my real 55 – ‘based’ on a true story my dad told me about… well, let’s just say… someone he used to know…



THE BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE

At school, he was only weak
In two academic fields
That’s Physics and Chemistry

For most subjects, his Report
Would read (words to the effect):

“His punctuality and
Valuable contribution
Are a credit, much admired
By teachers, classmates alike”

However; the two Black Spots:
One year in particular…

Physics (twenty six percent)
“Lazy!”
Chemistry (just twenty five)
“Idle!”

Thanks for your help with this Dad


Watch this space for my all-new comic-book series “Yes Man”.

  18. i found yr curricumlum subjects interesting... now lazy and idle can be interpreted as a dreamer...yes..no... i cannot wait to see yr comments

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hi One More Believer; You can be lazy without being idle. Lazy is another way of saying 'efficient'. Idle just means 'switched off', so that can be someone else's fault.

  20. After reading your Flash 55 and your answers written to comments, I would grade your paper as "perceptive"!
