Dear Mummy,

　　Oh, why did you send me here, Mummy?

　　It was so much better at home, Mummy

　　You have to do lessons all day, Mummy

　　And you hardly get any TV

　　Oh, and the other kids hate me, Mummy

　　And the teachers don't want me to talk, Mummy

　　I've got hours and hours of homework, Mummy

　　That I really don't want to do

　　Oh, and the food is so awful, Mummy

　　I have to eat all of my vegetables, Mummy

　　And I only get yucky deserts, Mummy

　　And the tuck shop has got a long queue

　　Oh, and it's lights out at eight, Mummy

　　And I can't have evening hot chocolate, Mummy

　　I wrote till my finger had a lump on it, Mummy

　　And my pillow's got a lump in it too

　　Oh, and the cross country's terrible, Mummy

　　I'm not even allowed to walk it, Mummy

　　I have to go out when It's rainy, Mummy

　　And get freezing cold and wet through

　　So why can't I come back home, Mummy?

　　The teachers want me to go too, Mummy

　　And I'd be a really good girl, Mummy

　　At least, for a day or two
