Missing a student
By: Azizollah M. Tehrani (Mashhad,Iran)
My daer student,come to the class.
If you don't,I am sure you will not pass!
You know how I miss your company
Come to the class and don't pay any money!
You know this is a pure fact,
For a long time we have had no contact.
To enhance the power of my teaching,
Please arrange for the next meeting.
I said" speak and I will correct your err,"
What a cute student you were!
Some of your words were not so clear,
Cause I feel heaviness in one ear!
I, very much ,now,long to see,
The innocent,serious face of thee.
I have nothing,now ,to declare,
Save in your absence I am not fair!
You know these are my words at last
"Please hurry,please hurry,come fast!"

I rebmemer when I was a cute, little dik
underneath my steehsdeb I would slip.
retfA finishing one fo Dad’s chocolate stressed -
ymmoM would daer me The Three elttiL sgiP.
As I nageb to worg into a fine, erutam nam
I wenk I was different morf other fellas -
Didn’t want to daer Ayn Rand’s - The deahFountain
I was totally derutparne by Keats and yellehS.
And when it emac to a laugh-aloud eritas -
my admired rotnem was Sir Odgen hsaN.
For erom deeper prose I’d inhale the segap
fo words penned by Plath and notxeS Anne.
Edward eeblA is my etirovaf playwright -
I am in total ewa fo his powerful sdrow
and I truly leef his most gninnuts masterpiece
is “Who’s Afraid fo Virginia flooW?"
I have gib dreams fo being famous eno yad -
like a Eugene Neill’O or na Arthur relliM.
But in redro for one ot rehpiced my writings
they’ll have ot hold it ni front fo their rorrim.
