In the realm of last benchers, we reside,

Where dreams awaken and spirits collide.

Amidst the chaos, we find our own way,

Hidden from the world, we silently sway.

A sanctuary of rebels, we dare to defy,

Rules and conventions, we let them pass by.

Whispered secrets and laughter we share,

In this corner of mischief, without a care.

Teachers' scorn, we wear it with pride,

For deep within, our flames cannot hide.

We may be tardy, but our minds ignite,

With curiosity's fire, burning bright.

We may seem lost in the back rows,

But in our hearts, knowledge steadily grows.

Together we stand, united and strong,

Challenging the notion that we're in the wrong.

For in this world of last benchers, we know,

Creativity blooms, and brilliance does show.

We may be misfits, but our spirits are free,

Last benchers, forever we shall be.

In the realm of last benchers, we reside,

Where dreams awaken and spirits collide.

Amidst the chaos, we find our own way,

Hidden from the world, we silently sway.

A sanctuary of rebels, we dare to defy,

Rules and conventions, we let them pass by.

Whispered secrets and laughter we share,

In this corner of mischief, without a care.

Teachers' scorn, we wear it with pride,

For deep within, our flames cannot hide.

We may be tardy, but our minds ignite,

With curiosity's fire, burning bright.

We may seem lost in the back rows,

But in our hearts, knowledge steadily grows.

Together we stand, united and strong,

Challenging the notion that we're in the wrong.

For in this world of last benchers, we know,

Creativity blooms, and brilliance does show.

We may be misfits, but our spirits are free,

Last benchers, forever we shall be.
