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.
