Power of Words
My maths teacher said I'll be nothing, Algebra and calculus caught me dozing. My Chem teacher condemned me too, For chemicals sent me straight to the loo. In physics I was called dumb, For machines made my mind numb. Nothing but words excites my passion. Lyrics and sonnets the real temptation. Dickens and Ng?gi I...
