Old Teacher
He bears chalk without shame for years ,
Despite his low income, he has no fears ,
He works with all his heart so as to train
lives and mould them to products that can fly,
Creatures that can survive when soil is dry ,
More efforts put to develop the brain ,
This is done with pains, but with future gain ,
No compromise! ; his words they must comply .
He dishes out tasks
in different forms to test
the young ones to prove their skills,
He reads to improve
knowledge to achieve his goal
he’s unperturbed by complains .
