My Invigilation
Do you know how boring invigilating can be?
It’s a tiring fight to keep your sanity
There’s nothing to do but to keep your eyes open
To make sure that the silence is never broken
No exchange of words, no tries of cheating
No semaphores attempted, no matter how fleeting
I’m willing the hands of the clock to move faster
I’m trying to stay awake with all the will I can muster
In my bed of heather beneath the sky
Deep in slumber, I quietly lie
The stars twinkle in their heavenly home
While the fireflies begin their nocturnal roam
The warm breeze chases away the cold
Deeper into the heather, I fold
A susurration of night-time whispers I hear
Lull me gently into a sleep so dear
The sounds are getting much louder
A sudden explosion of voice in my ear!
That could only mean –
Dammit! I fell asleep!

We cheated for history
We cheated for math,
We cheated for language,
We cheated for science.
A scribble on this,
A scribble on that,
A paper from here,
A paper from there.
The watchers watched,
The lookers looked,
But without a fight,
But without a fuss
Defeated they were!
By your lovely class.
It was so easy,
It was a cinch,
Dont even bother,
Dont even try,
Cheat we will,
Till the seas run dry.
Cheating is cool,
Cheating is fun,
Cheating is,
what we have done.
And so dear teacher,
Hear my advice,
Neither hell not high water,
Will stop our little mockery,
So go to sleep,
And dream of sheep.
Sigh...................
Oh comeon, retort in prose!
What more can I say, my dear?
You've made clear your point
Kids these days are a nuisance!
(There - a Haiku. Happy????)
