Students And Teachers Poem by Bidyarnab Das

When we are in class, we are students, When they are in the class, they are teachers,
When we write over their writing, it is overwriting, when they write over our writing, it is correction.

When we gather to discuss, it is gossip, When they gather to discuss, it is meeting.

When we are found in the library, it is bunking, when they are found in the library, it is research work we are found outside the classroom, we are being pumshed. hey are found outside the Principal's office, they are waiting.

When we do wrong, we are idiots, When they do wrong, they are human beings.

When we copy from others, we are cheaters,

When they copy from others, they are quoting.

When we do not do our work, we are lazy,

When they do not do their work, they are busy.

When we think in the class, we are day dreamers,

When they think in the class, they are philosophers.

When we tell jokes in the class, we are buffoons, When they tell jokes in the class, they are humourous.
