I love Munchins College, my arse The place is such a horrid little farce The people here, spend all year Killing individuality, with art Yes! We all love academic schools It's a pity- our labs have got no tools Instead we have some really cool rooms Like our chlorine filled, closed, indoor swimming pool The average Joe Soap of a teacher Is not too bad, at the bit of teaching But what of those ones, those silly little ones Who would'nt know a text book from their Beamer For most of them, I have the utmost respect For six years they have kept me in check They used their brains, and bore all the pains Associated with keeping us in step Séa.Tá sport ana tábhachtach Beidir go bhfuil sé an rud is tábhachtach Ach ní chuireann siad béim, ar an sport go léir Cad faoin forbairt soar, FAIC I now understand the life of the deagóir I see it's full of filthy dirty eagóir But overall- Munchins has brought Me to a fear from a naive deagóir

Not sure about the Gaelic expreessions it deprived me of knowing the ending. I would stick to the same formula as the end of a poem is of utmost importance to understand and call me a vacuous poppinjay but I never.

The rhythm upto that point is dandy 7

never thought of translating it sorry. here is the translation for the last two stanzas:

Yes.Sport is extremely important
Perhaps it's the most important
But the don't put an emphasis,on sport as a whole
What about free development, Nothing

I now understand the life of the teenager
I see it's full of filthy dirty injustice
But overall- Saint Munchins College has brought
Me to a man from a naive teenager
***************************************************

the sport refers to the fact that my school always prided itself on its sport,but the fact is that it is a rugby school.rugby only.other sport is shunned.so i say 'how can one develop freely'
