The Kid who Stood Up (Poem)



Introduction : What is the purpose of education ? To impart knowledge ? To instill discipline ? To incite curiosity ? Or to mow the buds altogether ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Missing the one who passed away,[/b]

A nursery school , put up an Ad.[/b]

But far was it , from the station.[/b]

And the pay too ,by all standards ; Bad! [/b]

[/b]

But there were people who'd still come.[/b]

Like the writer with a block , now a bum.[/b]

Or just love the kids , do honestly some.[/b]

[/b]

Came in a candidate,[/b]

To interrupt him in his discourse ,[/b]

None of he interviewers did dare.[/b]

For with words , he had a flair.[/b]

[/b]

Said the principal to the class,[/b]

"Pay attention, for a moment turn your heads here.[/b]

This is your new Teacher .[/b]

Respect him as you do , the famous TV seer."[/b]

[/b]

"When came out I ; from my mother's womb,[/b]

Or after I go to my tomb,[/b]

Have on me , I ; Nothing but flesh.[/b]

But in a society you need it to be included in the mesh.[/b]

Mine is 'X' , but feel free to pick;[/b]

A befitting Nick."[/b]

[/b]

"Sir , a lot of time you did waste.[/b]

Could have told it to us , in a single sentence.[/b]

Unless you want us to lag behind ,[/b]

Please make haste.[/b]

[/b]

The Teacher said , " We'll do as he say.[/b]

Pick up the Alphabet Book.[/b]

A for apple , B for ball,[/b]

the latter is round ,[/b]

and the former doth taste profound."[/b]

[/b]

"A consonant and a vowel differ.[/b]

The latter makes a loud sound.[/b]

while the former to the tongue is bound."[/b]

[/b]

"Sir , I didn't quite understand this thing.[/b]

what difference does it make?[/b]

When without it , a song we can sing.[/b]

Invisible will they be not , sans a name.[/b]

You'll know once you taste ,[/b]

that Bread and butter aren't the same."[/b]

[/b]

The teacher baffled did skip a beat.[/b]

Pretending to think,[/b]

He took his seat.[/b]

"Best it is , when the sails are tied to the cleat."[/b]

thought he,[/b]

Instead of tending to the curious kid's bleat.[/b]

[/b]

"Stand up on the Table."[/b]

After the class , to the weary kid said he;[/b]

"Oh! There's no need for that look so sable.[/b]

Next time it'll be much worse,[/b]

If you raise an un-intelligible doubt."[/b]
