Past Stonehenge down to Chatham

And then to Rochester

To pick up grandson Douglas

And take him back to where

At home in sunny B on A

He'll spend the summer through

Enjoying family holidays

Before the next term due

The Independent College

Has been a great success

With interesting studies

No gaming to excess

He's heading for A-levels

And we can hardly wait

Until we're back in this Kent town

To see him graduate.
