Backyard Garden

(to the tune of "Bahay Kubo" - a well-known Filipino song)

Our backyard lot, a little one

Many crops are planted to be a healthy man

Turnip and eggplant

Winged beans and peanuts

Legumes, and other beans

Pumpkin and gourd, and many more

Radish and mustard, winter melon and squash

Onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger

Mother Nature truly cares!

The Canteen

A place of every student’s dream

Where you can see kids all beam

As they are about to take in

Their favorite cuisine.

Sighting now for their favorite snack

Making sure that nutrients are full-packed

As health is of greatest significance

For studying to have no hindrance.

Boys’ activeness can be ascertained

Silence diminishes and few are contained

Girls are busy chatting and partaking

On topics which for them are very entertaining.

Canteen is a place where you can treasure

Many different sorts of pleasure

Lucky if you are able to acquire

The canteen that you will admire.
