March/April 2013 - Pershore High School

Mayorathon— Tuesday 12th March—Leer received from Charles
Tucker, Pershore Town Mayor
This is to say a big thank you to
you and your students, for taking
part in last week’s Mayorathon in
Pershore Bapst Church.
It all looked so effortless on the
day, but I’m sure that you had put
in hours and days of preparaon.
I really enjoyed the variety of the
readings and the confidence
shown by the students. I hope
they enjoyed reading as much as
we did listening to them. I
parcularly liked the poem at the
end.
All told, we raised over £1200 for
the Acquired Aphasia Trust and
the Acquired Brain Injury
Educaon Service. Thank you so
much for your contribuons and
donaons. Any money
outstanding, please send a
cheque

‘The Mayorathon’
So I agreed to stand up here
And read a lile ‘piece’
Of anything I wanted to
from north, south, west or east
I didn’t think much of it
Talking for cause
Poems, novels, short stories
And maybe even more
The problem was I couldn’t choose
The choices far too many
Mr Spice had told me ‘anything’
But what help was that, if any!
And then he told me of my ‘skill’
In wring many poems
So upon the bus I did sit down
And to this I owe him!
The bright cold day has come at last
And I now before you stand
To read my small aempt
And try to steady shaky hands
I may not be a prodigy
In poetry nor wring
But thank you all for listening
And let get injury fighng!
