The old man behind the podium speaks
- Does anybody listen?
He tries to talk loudly, waving his arms
- His old, tired eyes glisten
My distracted friend is playing tetris
- But still the old man goes on
The girl behind me is surfing the web
- Stopping only for a yawn
The tall boy in front of me is asleep
- I see the desk meeting chin
And I? I stopped listening long ago
- But the old man won't give in
this made me chuckle
