GOING TO SCHOOL The milkman's horse began to trot, the milk float ran behind, and we who ran and jumped and held were taken for a ride. The milkman turned and growled at us who clung on tight behind, but we who'd run and jumped and held were taken for a ride. The milkman reached and took his whip and flicked it every way, and we jumped off and ran to school -- it happened every day. -- Leslie Scrase, "Poet's Corner," in "Best of British, Past & Present" mag.
