Today they would label <br />a pupil like me, <br />not willing and able <br />but ADHD. <br /> <br />I would shout at the teacher <br />in my urge to be heard, <br />what a resolute creature, <br />like his father, a nerd. <br /> <br />I absorbed education <br />like a warty green toad, <br />for that meagre ovation, <br />all so rarely bestowed. <br /> <br />Always dreamed of how pleasant <br />it would be on the land. <br />Live one's life as a peasant <br />Could he not understand? <br /> <br />When we buried the Geezer <br />it was all in the news, <br />seems by pleasing this Caesar <br />I might fit in his shoes.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-drive/
