(Published in the Golden Jubilee Souvenir of
St. Joseph'sBoys' High School in 1992 - '93)
I think there are teachers of
Three different types,
They who belong to the first
Always run in a hurry
To finish the lessons early.
Those who belong to another type
Are so slow as a snail...
They reach nowhere in their work...!
But the third group of teachers
Are neither cheetahs, nor snails -
They lead the pupils toa coast
By their teaching skills.
Some of them can teach their pupils
Using humour in their words.
They're whom I respect most
Among the group of teachers.
They do neither run, nor crowl
In discharging their duties.
So I like them very much
Even when they punish me...
Bu I know I can't live without
The help of others too.
So I do respect the others too
And will be sincere tol all of them.
