grammar school ~ english literature

 grammar school ~ english literature 


‘read them out loud’ he said

we called him ‘Gunner’

he taught us how to swear ‘properly’

the intonations on the word ‘bastard’

‘bãstārd’ being the insult

‘bástard’ the illegitimate

he said

read Tennyson’s ‘break, break, break’

the tears

shared between the poem and

dear ‘Gunner’
