Yet another poem

One more exclusive poem from the poem factory in my head. This one for Teacher's Day. It's quite sentimental. I really had to refrain from insulting the teachers in this, and it has quite a large Maska Quotient, so hopefully I'll be scoring a lot of unnecessarily given marks in the terms! Nidhi was going to read hers too, but if you read her poem on her blog, you can see that it's possibly the meanest poem ever written! Here goes:

GRATITUDE

Today we been gathered here,

To thank the people we tend to fear.

They've taught us for years and watched us grow,

Their love for their students will always show.

These wonderful women taught us how to add,

And comforted us when we felt sad.

They did scold us when they thought it necessary,

And made scary subjects like math compulsory!

But now, we look back, and we thank them with zeal,

And let them see all of the respect we feel,

They've cried for us, shedded so many precious tears,

They take the most tension when the exams near!

Yes, we have troubled them to no end,

But our broken ties will always mend,

You've been with us right from the start,

You'll always have a place inside our hearts.

They sit up at night to correct our books,

They never complain about the pains they took,

They're ready to stay after school to explain,

And they never, ever let us get wet in the rain!

They are the school and the school is them,

Doesn't matter if they teach Biology or Chem,

We hope you've had fun, getting to know us all,

Cos' we've had a jolly good time overall.

And so, with pride, we'd all like to say,

Have a very, very happy Teacher's Day!
