THE TEACHER

When you are darn intelligent
People call you a critic
No one ever gets bored with the job
We all become lazy about it

1+5 and 5+1 is simply for the sake of logic
But some pretend to be better
Than the whole curriculum
While watching and relaxing they prefer

Babble they do about the years they spent
Foolishly marking their own notes
Students sneak behind their knowledge
And succeed

But whoever fails,
They present their lesson plan
Full of tartle
And claim their teaching method too effective

No, it wasn’t akrasia
I brought the disease into the school
My observation could accelerate
More than the years they spent

Experience, observation and knowledge
Language, thought and culture
Now that’s my wolf hypothesis
Nightmare to every lazy chicke—teacher

So, I decided to yield the donkey work
Decided to stop wasting my time
Wasting my time helping the school
Helping the school produce geniuses
