Alone On Thompson Hill

It was Saturday

The game with Saxon Hall

Very big deal

You were supposed to commit suicide

If old Pencey didn’t win

I remember

Standing way the Hell up on top of Thompson Hill

Next to this crazy cannon

You could see

Two teams bashing each other

All over the place

Yelling

Practically the whole school

Except me was there

A terrible school

I like to be somewhere

I was standing way up on Thompson Hill
