TLOSGH - DR BREAM

garbed in her

cambridge cap and gown

closed her eyes…

hopinng that if she ignored it all would be well

laughter, it seemed

was on the curiculum

 "Silver medals and trophies and cups gleamed in the cabinet...the pupils straight-backed

straight-faced; the staff upright, straight-laced"

The Head put her hands

in her head and wept

The Head stared at the laughing girls then turned and marched from the stage/clipped up the polished corridor,

banged through the double doors/crunched down the gravel drive to the Staff Car Park and into her car

The head herself, Dr Bream

at the stand was a serious affair

the heads tight smile was a

tick

In the hospital, a nurse brought warm milk

and a pill to the head
