Seven For Chaos and Order --- Drama

CLASSROOM DRAMA

                                   Children running about, climbing over all the chairs,
                                       Two boys fighting in a corner, another one stares,
                                           Girls giggling and talking gaily as if who cares,
                Some of them scribbling on the blackboard - the noisy din scares.

I watch the scene silently, standing near the door,
Five full minutes before they notice me, thus ending the uproar,
I walk in. All stand shamefacedly. Peace is restored.

JO, we had a teacher in High School who would stand before the class chaos and shout "I DEMAND PANDEMONIUM!".....We would all return to our seats and sit quietly......
