A poem of a poor student.
I had just pencil and paper.
you had a board and chalk.
"Quiet! Work! Less talk!
No tales of your latest caper."

A brain as sharp as a rapier,
taught from nine to four O'clock.
I had just pencil and paper.
you had a board and chalk.

The past is gone like vapor,
but education became my rock,
which would give you a shock.
I was merely a desk draper.
I had just pencil and paper.
