The poet felt that his school days were unpleasant ones as there were 'black crows' that interrupted him when singing the National Anthem. This states that the school is not very peaceful and quiet in the mornings but rather noisy because of the chirping of the 'black crows'. His shoes are very 'difficult to maintain' its whiteness which means that the school's environment is not very clean and thus, his shoes are often dirty. The fact that the poet mentions 'Seven to the power of five is unreasonable' shows that the poet felt that the school's mathematics is too difficult for him to work out. He is also not clever in the way that he is not able to solve the 'Seven to the power of five' question. 'The capital of Singapore is Singapore' means the poet thinks that Singapore is so small and tiny that it does not even have a capital to the extent that its capital is still 'Singapore'. His friend 'Shaded all A's' for the multiple choice of the Chinese test gives the poet an impression that his friend does not take the test seriously and thus, uses 'a heroic thing' to further exaggerate this incident. A photo was taken when the poet's eyes were closed shows how much he hates the school for taking such an ugly photo of him. Thus, his school days were overall unpleasant ones with very little good days.
