I’ve been placed in detention today
For not paying attention in class
Teacher says it’s the price to be paid
But thank God my seats by the glass

‘What do I do, what do I do?’
In this classroom, all alone
I know what to do, admire the view
And with my thoughts, I’ll go with the flow

Not a cloud in the sky, but I do wonder why
When full of water they turn very dark
Because water is clear, even up in the sky
I’m not sure, so move on to the park

I see some of my friends, enjoying the sun
I wish I could be there as well
But I’m stuck in this room, in need of some fun
On what I see from the window, I dwell

In the distance are sheep, just one black in the group
Unlike the rest, but he follows care free
If the rumours are true, why don’t they walk in a loop
And never end up where they’d like to be

No avoiding the sight, from the chair where I look
Is my face on the glass looking back
If my reflection could talk, it would say ‘learn from your books
And contemplate life when at home and on track’
