I dream of much,
For my child,
They should be trained,
And not run wild.

They should learn French,
And Arabic too,
They should learn English,
It’s long overdue.

They should learn karate,
And self-defense,
Gymnastics, Soccer,
Not sit on a bench.

They should learn Art,
To sing and perform,
They should learn drama,
For this is the norm.

They should be taught,
A hobby or two,
Cooking, sewing,
Or how to cure flu.

They should learn Science,
An –ology or two,
Geology, Radiology,
Yes, any will do.

They should be taught,
All this and much more,
They should not simply,
Stare at the floor.

When asked the square root,
Of four sixty three,
Their heads should be high,
At the ripe age of three.

Rocket Science,
Math and Astronomy,
The state of the world,
It’s economy.

And, by SK,
They should know all this,
If it’s not done,
Something is amiss.

After all, am I,
Not doing my part?
I’m sending them daily,
Surely that’s a good start?

I dream of so much,
For my little one,
Now Principal, can you tell me,
When will it be done?
