“Dear John”, they said, “we are able,

By means of secret charm,

To rid you of Year Twelve

And save the school from harm.”

“Please do,” he said, and so the two

Started on their way

And sowed the seed that soon would lure,

Year Twelve away from acts unpure,

Upon a Magical Mystery Tour.

Like greedy rats they took the bait

And many found they could not wait

To discover the itinerary,

Of what was of course a mystery.

They schemed and probed to no avail

The secret of the Pipers trail.

They pried and tried but couldn’t trace

The location of that magic place,

To which they would be taken.
