Poem
MY TEACHER AND I My teacher has taught me many things He seems to have known all But the problem with him is his unstableness In ideas and truths He said if asked a car to drop me; It is bad English I should say I want to alight I told my teacher I returned yester night My teacher said it is wrong I should say I returned last night I told my friends don`t make noise My teacher said no It should be don`t make a noise I said should in case you come call me My teacher said It should be in case you come call me or should you come call me My teacher is my problem He has taught me both present and past tense But if I say it is time we leave My teacher will say it is wrong I should say it is time we left But I have not gone or left Is my teacher confused or I am wrong? He said I should not say we love ourselves, But we love one another I cannot understand my teacher He speaks as if he did not suck his mother`s breast He even calls my native name As if they have rubbed hot pepper on his lips He said, 2x = 2 that I should find x Where does he put x? He said I should assume A figure to complete the equation My teacher is not well He said the past tense of take is took I now told him the past tense of make is mook He said it is wrong My teacher is playing tricks He gives symbols like H2O And calls it water, Cl and calls it chlorine He calls something MR. NIGER D, my fear is that he said D is death He has said so many things I can`t remember He talks as if the paper is wrapped into his brain Let me ask my teacher Do you know the bursting hole of a rabbit? Do you know how to roast an egg? Do you know how to hear and talk with the gods through the pebbles? My teacher has many facts He says if I learn them I will be great But I must do the doing.
