WHERE DO ALL THE TEACHERS GO?

Where do all the teachers go

When it’s four o’clock?

Do they live in houses

And do they wash their socks?

The child wonders and questions where all the teachers go after the school hours. When it is 4 0’ clock. He wants to know if like any other ordinary being they also live in houses and wash their socks, means do they also do all the routine work like other people.

Do you also think where do the teachers go after school?

Do they wear pyjamas

And do they watch TV?

And do they pick their noses

The same as you and me?

The child wants to know if teachers also wear clothes like pyjamas and watch TV like them? Do they also clean their noses the way other people do and waste their time?

Do you waste your time?

Do they live with other people

Have they mums and dads?

And were they ever children

And were they ever bad?

Further, the child wonders by asking if they are also surrounded by people? If they also have parents and children like us to live with? Did they commit any mistakes or did anything wrong when they were children?

Do your teacher make mistakes?

Did they ever, never spell right

Did they ever make mistakes?

Were they punished in the corner

If they pinched the chocolate flakes?

Now he wants to know if they also made mistakes or were ever punished for stealing chocolates

Or doing any silly or naughty?

What do you think to be naughty is good / good/ or just cool?

Did they ever lose their hymn books

Did they ever leave their greens?

Did they scribble on the desk tops

Did they wear old dirty jeans?

Hymn books: religious books

Scribbling: draw or write something that is not readable

The tender mind is also bothered to know if their teachers also ever lost their religious books and said no to green vegetables.Did they also waste time by scribbling on tables and wear torn and old jeans.

Do you wear old torn jeans?

I’ll find out what they do

Then I’ll put it in a poem

That they can read to you.
