Team Message For Cheryl
//Written by Lynnette Hurley//

Oh Cheryl, beloved leader Our principal’s leaving, The kids, parents and teachers They are all left grieving

I’ve asked of your colleagues To provide clues for this rhyme As to what really goes on At this school all the time

You do not work alone here No - It takes a whole bunch To keep this school working And hubby to make your lunch

You think you’d appreciate Such a major privilege But no - you get the cleaner To remind you they’re in the fridge

Great man David also irons Makes your clothes so pristine So in the playground at all hours You can be proud to be seen

And a number of your staff Well they just had to fess up They seriously do share in Your passion for dress up

But one thing they can’t cope with They’ve exclaimed – ‘oh good grief!’ Could you do something about Those horrible fake teeth?

A golden goose in your office For yourself to remind That without that golden goose No golden eggs you will find

And bursting into song If you were to set your heart on A career in music There’d be a nervous Dolly Parton

Monday evenings with PTA Just another thing you do Missing Desperate Housewives Or in that room with us - are you?!!

The neighbour’s cat – it will miss you No more earrings to play with Who on earth will poor Millie Spend the long day with?

You’ve loved and protected Kept this kitten from harm But you may have not felt loving When it set off the alarm

And a nippy silver sports car That looks great, never dirty Quite the thing to run about in For a woman, just over thirty

An open-door policy Oh yes – open wide But if that door’s ever shut Feel sorry for who’s inside

And someone approached me I can’t remember the fellow Wanted me to make mention Of a brain that is yellow

In dealings with property Of the school needing painting Thoughts of sewer pipes and ramps Has you nearly fainting

‘Forward thinker’, ‘creative’ A runner of the Buller half An inspiration to our tamariki Showing them a good path

‘Community’, ‘colour’ ‘Sky’s the limit’, ‘empowering’ Descriptions all flattering With compliments showering

‘Loves practical jokes’ ‘Has vision’, ‘sense of humour’ But finds mistakes in Meynell’s grammar? Surely that’s just a rumour

For some I’d not believe it I’d have to be a bit concerned But I know first hand with you Cheryl These comments are well earned

We are all sad you are leaving You are leaving a huge space But we know because you’ve been here Fendalton School’s a better place
