1/. Here we go again Yes I’m doing five a night Does this really count? 2/. Nerd, geek, bookworm, swot Insults I wear as badges Of high distinction. 3/. Autumn Spring between The more important seasons Warm up cool down acts 4/. School reunion Bully takes my lunch money Just for old time’s sake 5/. Giving Sisyphus A helping hand gains Me my own boulder Arthur Chappell
