To Mayakovskiy
‘”What is good and what is bad…”
A little boy to father came
And he asked the father:
“Is it good to be in mud
As my little brother?”
“NO, it is not so good,
It is rather badly.
You must always wash your hands
As your lovely daddy.”
Limerick 1
The teacher taught and taught and taught,
And he thought and thought and thought.
And if the teacher always taught,
Was there any time for thought?
Fame
What must you do to be a famous man?
To learn a lot, to be at top often,
And not be often feeling blue
But train as much as you can do.
We and you
We are to teach,
You are to learn,
To study much
And so on.
We must be friends-
The only thing
Which was, will be
And is worth being.
Limerick 2
A traveler traveled a lot,
And he never knew what
He was going to see –
The Black or the blue sea.
The thoughts of doubting teacher
To teach or not to teach?
That is the question…
Or to give up all projects
And rest a little?
So, preps, to teach?
But how, whom and what for
If practically power’s – “switched off”?
Our work is hardly ever charming
And very often sadness is being left.
Of course, to teach!
With love, desire and respect,
And no sadness, no doubt,
We are to “Live and Learn”
And this is MY WAY!
And you, what would you say to this?
The 9th form
We are the 9th form –
That is all.
We are not big,
And not so small.
Our English teacher troubles us
By using as a looking-glass.
The looking-glass for all the rest
To see that we are just the best!
Devoted to my pupils…
“The more we study…”- the proverb says,
“The more we know…” but I think-less.
So much for reading, to learn by heart,
And lack of minutes that all to start!
I’m so tired, I fall asleep,
I don’t want studying, I want to skip,
To cry aloud:”Leave me alone!”
I don’t want studying,
I want to go home!”
