Elonor Rigby And My Street Education

01 Mar 2022

O why did i not choose to go to school For i was not stupid nor nobody's fool I educated myself on the streets of my beloved city called Liverpool My so-called gang would hang around Many a time i would sit on the bench next to Eleanor Rigby And tell her all my troubles as i could perceive them And what news is being spread around That's where we could unload my secrets for she would be silent we found We played a serious version of hide and seek We would hide and the police would seek That was my teenage years I have no regrets or tears
