Generational Song</br>
1990-2000</p>



lazy lad</p>

The gong roared and he hissed,</br>
"these prefects at it again"</br>
Like an endangered mouse,</br>
he scuttled to the locker room.</p>

Choosing a cozy box hole</br>
he dozed off..</br>
he dreamt himself, all alone</br>
in the dining hall....and</br>
all of a sudden! water was poured on him</br>
ah! ah!! why now ...he woke with a protest</br>
only then did he realized,</br>
someone innocently threw</br>
water from unwashed plates.</p>

"'Umh, eighty more days to go home", he yawned,</br>
'please , just a cup of water", he begged</br>
trudging down to the bathroom</br>
still clad in yesterday's clothing</br>
He calls it Indian brushing</br>
enough to make the face and limbs shine</br>
while craw- craw ravishes his yansh</br>
and body odor oozes like rotten fish.</p>

He is the mighty lord of the dinning hall,</br>
defender of watery beans,</br>
champion of yam without stew,</br>
connoisseur of all that is chewable</p>

like burning sodium</br>
his eyes dilate</br>
remotely controlling the server's hand</br>
to drop the biggest piece in his bowl</br>
while others in total despair, sweat.</p>

it still remains a misery</br>
but it is quite obvious</br>
if he gets to class before midday</br>
he may develop epileptic seizure</p>

once, he did try</br>
11:58 am precisely</br>
he had to leave in a rush</br>
scratching his body</br>
like someone under the spell of werepe</p>

still he must not be in the class</br>
for the last lecture of the day</br>
the time his business most strives</br>
He is a courier agent -dealing in pots of food.</br>
His profit is in the extra plates</br>
negotiated with lazy cooks,</br>
no wonder he doesn't bother</br>
about lunch!</p>

Siesta is the best time of the day,</br>
for he will quip "all work and no rest</br>
earns a busy man a stroke of death".</p>

Thus, he spends the term</br>
and when vacation day comes</br>
he walks a sad man</br>
with a red colored report sheet</br>
of his business activities.</p>
