Analysis of Valedictory



It's finally here, after all this time,
The end of school, the start of life;
See you uniforms, see you bells,
See you teachers shouting loud -
Perhaps again when the little ones come
But not for me, I'll be flying high!
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I came,
But farewell school, and never again.
