In class
Sitting here
At desk in class
Bored because
I've completed the task
An essay we wrote
Of our time so far
Our skills we honed
Our mistakes that mar
Paper rustles
As it turns
Coughs and sighs
And fingers burned
Our hands are used
To striking keys
Not sit with pen
And write with these
Huffing and puffing
And fidget in seat
Did I spell that right?
Is my writing neat?
The teacher stares
At the window glass
And thinks of how
She has taught the class
How will they do?
Have they learnt enough?
Was I too soft?
Was I too tough?
The students strain
They think and ponder
Is there a point
To this they wonder.
