The kids have crooned their final number.

Break was so much fun.

O, Lord, it used to be a bummer.

At Penyrheol school they sing - and everything is okey dokey

Because the head has topped the pops with karaoke.

J Lo and Britney Spears

And songs from Grease and S Club 7

Help raise their self-esteem

(Please read the piece on page 11).

It’s groovy, say the kids, more up-to-date than hokey cokey.

They sing, in harmony, with karaoke.

And there were times, in days of yore

When break brought discord, was a bore.

Now schools have singing, they have dance!

Such things the afternoons enhance.

They take the risk; they play the disc

For karaoke!
