Arithmetic teacher!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Rants and rumbles numerals
Rounds circles overlapping
Reads instructions un-understandably
Rank teacher indeed!
Writes questions all over
Re-writes figures over and over
Repeats a wrong answer with no success
Rank teacher indeed!
Reacts to tough questions allergically
Remembers not thy formula
Rumbles on, beating round the bush
Rank teacher indeed!
Remixes lies and facts
Reminding of useless formulas
Recapturing any help from students
Rank teacher indeed!
Regret and regression eats me
Really fate had to have me
Relayed teaching from a lay-man
Ranked a teacher indeed!
