Read MoreBerbice High is a complex, a complex indeedOf buildings and people of many a creedFound near to the Mental from where blows the breezeWhich cools our temper and puts us at easeAlso near the Penitentiary where the oversmart goSo perhaps its not terrible to be somewhat slowSo listen a moment and you will hearSome of the mad things which happen there.
