Memory musings in March

I found an old schoolbook of mine in a box today. I was really surprised because my mum threw out or burnt most of the stuff we brought home from school days. But tucked inside a Spiderman Annual from 1985 I found a little notebook with some homework info in. Mostly boring stuff about algebra and tectonic plates, but I did find this little poem that I wrote as part of an assignment about World War 1. I guess I’d have been about 12:

“When the War is over

One side has lost

But both sides have paid

A terrible cost”

I can’t decide if that’s sweet or pathetic.
