School goers are both parents and children,
Bound together by blood and mutual plight
It is also mutual agony, at different times
The children at school raising questions
That teachers cannot answer, examiners
Posing problems that parents cannot solve
Yes, parents should study better than kids
For they turn teachers when sun goes down
Studying first themselves, tired after work
Then braving to inflict on brainy kids
All of whom are now tired and asleep
Quietly preparing for next days' trouble.
(2000)
