The Classroom

The world of fishes

An another land of sorrow
Where fishes swam underneath
The birds are flocked together
Expecting more, more and more.

Some have great catches
Scored high on the index
Some are lazy, lazy more lazy
Scored low on the index.

Life is like a flying fox
Hanging on the branches high
Index has nothing to do with it.
Only satisfaction and happiness are indexed.

Everything is indexed, it just depends on the effort you put into something…and how satisfied you are in life….some people put no effort and some put high…. And in the classroom those who study are high and those who don’t are low…. ( lazy)
Nicely crafted
Warmly

Thank you friend 😊

an index is a measure. life cannot be indexed (measured). it is what is for good or bad. all that really matters is how happy/satisfied we are and that is the only thing worth measuring ... )

It's all about perspective. I've met rich people miserable from making money. Their kids hated both parents because they were always gone. They never had time to actually spend the money they'd earned. I've met poor people happy with very little, a stay at home mom, pushing buckets around the living room when it rained hard, but their bills were paid, there was plenty to eat in their house and their kids beds were dry and warm. It depends on what's important to you in life. Make the right choice. But I've never read a headstone that said, "If Only I had Bought More Stuff."

It's true. Thank you friend 😊

I never had indexes for my classes
praps I should have done

The clever ones were bright and cheerful
The notso clever ones were too lazy to do the work set for them

'You don;t know me' the lad said 'I am in your class'
Yes I recognis you face'
I rember the clever ons names > thy dont need any help at this stage .. SoI am not clever/
Just let me go om
I remember the ones at the bottom who need help

Its the average student who manages with out help about ninety percent of the class they just get on with things

I love the imagery this conjures. Makes a classroom feel like a very wild place, which, nowadays, it seems it is.

"Life is like a flying fox." I love that line. Perhaps some of the wording could be restructured, but I enjoyed this little poem, and it still had a tune to it. Thanks for sharing this, Arundass

Lovely ending to a lovely poem. It reminds me of how you have demands on you, on your time, expectations, but like the flying fox, we can rise above all of it.

Thank you friend 😊

You can batter a fish but you can't beat a flying fox .. & the rising cost of necessary ingredients is index linked .. Neville

you only get out what you put in .... no effort means no result and bottom of the index.
