ACROSS GLENMORE TRAIL TO SCHOOL I WOULD SLOG by Jack Locke


Across Glenmore Trail to school I would slog Back then in the sixties there were lights I tried my best to avoid synagogue.


The rabbi and principal never did jog I never saw them wearing spandex tights Across Glenmore Trail to school I would slog.


Though unorthodox I would not eat hog Though under the law I had certain rights I tried my best to avoid synagogue.

CONNECTIONS


Back then we knew little about killing smog The particles that bring final nights Across Glenmore Trail to school I would slog.


I prayed for recess to run like a dog Studies I steered clear of with all my might I tried my best to avoid synagogue.


Today every morning the road will clog My arteries likewise a graven fright Across Glenmore Trail to school I would slog I tried my best to avoid synagogue.
