The Wonder Years

Those were the years really worth living;
Those years of innocence,
Those years of being in love,
Those years of stealing carrots from the fields
During cross country,
The wonder years.

Those years of sleeping through history classes
And flunking tests and begging for extra marks,
Those years of competition for the inter house championship,
Those years of happiness,
Those years of being crazy,
The wonder years.

Those years of rivalry with the Hebronites,
Those years of having the best outings to the city,
Those years of finding Cockroaches in the Biryani
Which was, Oh so Disgusting,
Those years of waiting for parents to send snacks from home,
The wonder years.
