Machon Memories

Anything Relavent: Same reason as below..but just so you know...i AM still counting the days :)

The WHY: This achually started as a school assignment that we had to do trying to copy the format of another poet, but i really took it to heart <3

Machon Memories

Childhood memories are always bittersweet

If you’re a Machon School postgraduate

You always remember things like how excited you were when you were privileged with doing the question of the day

And Mr. Cushman usually responding with, “you CAN do it, but you MAY not.”

Never forgetting out little school pet, Compass, the fearless hamster

And having the best MCAS scores throughout all of Swampscott.

You recall envying the fifth graders in the portables

And the evil dragon lingering in the art room that would come out and eat you if you weren’t quiet

And fifth grade graduation

The tradition of the song “I will be there for you”

And praying to be chosen for a lollypop

We always think of the memories when the new high school was being built

When we lost our field

When we lost all hope

And when we were shoved out of our home

You may recall sneaking back after school to bury memories in a secret time capsule with your friends

And counting the days until you turn thirty so you can come back and dig it up together

But none f these memoires will mean anything to you

If you are not a Machon School postgraduate.

This is the achual picture of our old playground, haha...i really do miss it :'(

Sincerly,
