Aaron

Young Aaron is a bright and budding poet And for the future he is one to note And all of his class mates say his poems are good And are well written and easily understood. But Aaron's teacher sees it differently Perhaps the man is touched by jealousy His advice to Aaron give verse writing away And more attention to your studies pay. In class the teacher found him with a poem And little mercy to the boy was shown From Aaron's hand he snatched away the page And he chewed and ate the poet's work in his rage. And the other pupils much to their surprise At what was happening there before their eyes Watched on in silence as their teacher ate A poem written by their poetic class mate. But Aaron seemed to take it in his stride And his poetic ambitions had not been destroyed As his cruel teacher had set out to do The poet to his poetic cause still true. There is a lesson here for one and all The most educated of people in some ways can be small Like Aaron's teacher who has a Uni degree And yet would you find a more tactless man than he? .
