School Boy

He was just about sixteen, I suppose   
A young, smart boy like anyone else here  
But he had a lot of metal on him 
On his face, I counted fourteen, it’s true  

Cannot guess how many more around  him 
A number of coloured bands on his wrists 
His hair were clearly coloured, gelled,  and spiked 
A very smart modern boy of this time !

Was surprised to see him removing them
Detached his metals and bands around  him  
He was in the train with me and a lot
People were watching him but he didn’t  care     

Removed  them, packed in his bag, that school bag !
Sprayed, combed and set his spikes to a neat style 
Rolled down the sleeves and buttoned them neatly  
Neck tie around, perfumed and coat is on

Must be from a strict school, a Catholic one   
Atleast they’re scared of the rules they have on    
Now he’s a gentle, smart looking boy    
Yes, now he’s a young, fresh and a neat School Boy !
