Before forty pupils, the teacher stands Before the folk that she now understands. She first considers them with an inquisitive, assuring eye And with a tone full of mirth, passes a greeting. The knowledge-hungry souls reply in unison Gauging her with awe and reverence Their eyes flickering with wonder and expectation And the teacher, so filled with love for her flock Delivers forth the cherished stuff-bit by bit As the insatiable souls gape their minds for more. She confidently stands for eighty eyes to peck at Acting as a torch light to split the darkness In the dark portals of this intricate the world of wit.
