Obladi Tralala Poem by Joseph S. Josephides

My pupils fool parts of Education
that has educated me to educate them:

- Sir, tell us, why your wolf didn’t eat up
the Little Red Riding Hood when they first met?
Or her granny long before, when she was fresh?

- My God, I will go mad with their tralala jokings!

- Sir, was the Prince blind and idiot not to recall
the face of Cinderella? How many girls had
the same length of palm he fixed the shoe on?

- Sir, did Alexander Pharaoh wear a fez?
Was Achilles dressed as a woman to avoid the war?
If he covered his heel, he would have been saved.

- My God, I will go mad with their tralala jokings!

- Sir, Theseus had not any thread of his own?
He grew old and forgot to change the black sails?
Brave Spartacus, was hiding himself in the prison?

- Sir, if Adam didn’t eat the apple, then what?
Would Eve have been kicked out from heaven?
Inside the Ark the wolf didn’t relish the lamb?

**
But the students don’t laugh for the fall of Icarus
Cause they respect the dream of flying like him.
Anyway, if their wax melts and finally they fell
into the sea...it’s an opportunity to cool off.
