Bullying and Harassment

FOUR O´CLOCK FRIDAY

 

Four o´clock, Friday, I´m home at last.

time to forget the week that´s passed.

 

On Monday, at break, they stole my ball

and threw it over the playground wall.

 

On Tuesday morning, I came in late,

But they were waiting behind the gate.

 

On Wednesday afternoon, in games,

They threw mud at me and called me names.

 

Yesterday, they laughed after the test

´Cause my marks were lower than the rest.

 

Today, they trampled my books on the floor

And I was kept in because I swore.

 

Four o´clock, Friday, at last I´m free.

For two whole days they can´t get me.
