My Classroom

Welcome to my havoc-heaven!

"Good morning, students

Good morning to one and all."

Says the class teacher

As the first morning call.

And as the students open their eyes

They wish the teacher in sluggish voices

The entire classroom of 41 students

is filled with heavy, snoring noises

"Today we shall start with Maths."

Says the teacher with a scorn

While the tired and lethargic students

Can only whine, crib and mourn

Mrs. Jones caught one boy

sleeping with his hands on his head

and Mrs. Jones scolded a girl

Who joined two benches to make her bed!

Every morning the children are tired

And fight with their mothers for skipping school

They rather not mug up and cram

But instead stay illiterate fools

On the first bench sits a boy

Who never talks or screams

Whereas the last benches are filled with students

Lost in their own dreams!

In the middle row sit some girls

Who steal and smuggle tiffin-boxes

God knows why they come to school

When they are as cunning as those clever foxes!

And as soon as the bell goes off

The students wake up and smile with glee

As if they were never tired

Because now it was time for P.T!

Welcome to my lovely class

Where every day we have some fun

Sometimes we enjoy so much that

Even all the teachers run!

FABULOUS! it was truly nice....
"God knows why they come to school
When they are as cunning as those clever foxes!"
Hahahaha this was crazy... just my point of view. same pinch!
"While the tired and lethargic students
Can only whine, crib and mourn" superb rhyming and choice of words.
"Sometimes we enjoy so much that
Even all the teachers run!" This used to happen almost all the times hahaha...
It was nostalgically creatively and sweetly funny.
Keep going . I look forward to read more of your works. All the best . :)

It's very easy to read, very light, not heavy like some poems. When I saw how long it was, I didn't know if I would read until the end, but as soon as I started, it was very quick and the end came too soon.

I was a high school science teacher for 17 years, and I certainly can relate. Your poem made me smile, and chuckle, for I have had every one of the students you describe. Well done. Love the rhyming and word choice, I'd read aloud a few times and make small adjustments to the overall rhythm. Nice poem!

[Sonakshi Arora]

Thank you so much! 😄😄😍😍

[CherryEllie]
