Cursing the Sands of Time

The kids all watch the melting clock,


As if it were wax on fire.


Staring at the timepiece like a hawk,


 Waiting for class to expire.


The teacher’s speech is patience fighting,


He’s offering no assistance.


His appearance is even uninviting,


Making students desire a distance.


Alas! The bell finally rings.


Like a stampede of bulls in a hurricane,


Children rush for their belongings.


 Class was obviously finished in vain.


But the minutes of free time they have are few,


Because they still have treacherous homework to do.
