                                  FLASHBACK

By Cheah Lean Aing

Freshie Green, Freshie Queen

Big Green Bow, Go with the flow

Black track-suits, Warm winter boots

Sputnik Curry, Best you hurry

Fish and Chips, Smack your lips

Kirkby Store, Stuff galore

Carter's Arms, Had its charms

With ten pounds, Treasures found

Informal Dance, Skills enhance

Lecture notes, Famous quotes

Lecture rooms, Knowledge blooms

Teaching Prac. , Don't you slack

Exam. fever, Be a winner!

Fire-places, New romances

Malayan Medley, Quaint and merry

Esprit de Corps, Like days of yore

"For Knowledge and Truth", A Beacon in our youth

They're the things , To which we cling

Memories of Kirkby, Thru' half a century

Kirkbyites, Let's unite!

Kirkbyites, Show your light!

THE KIRKBYITE SPIRIT we IGNITE!!!!
