We knew it was a Thursday,
by the listing of the menu
pinned upon the notice board.
We had Mock Tutorial on a Thursday.
‘Super!’ we thought, ironically.
Then, we realised that after MTS
we had Double Grumble and Custard –
our spirits dropped even lower;
Thursdays were supposed to be
a warm-up for Fridays,
when we could all wind down
in time for the weekend;
but, MTS for lunch,
and DG&C after,
always left us feeling like we had
little hope of Friday
(and the weekend)
ever arriving.
