The Boards Syndrome
Namaste Aunty, it's nice to see you
Any recent news that's been freshly brewed?
You must be enjoying oldage these days
You've been keeping well, Mom says
Yes I'm in Grade 10, thanks for reminding
Aunty, I know I have boards, of course I'm studying
Oh sorry was that rude? I'm a little tense you see
Exams are in 10 days as you reminded so nicely
My plans after 10th? I'm not very sure...
Perhaps I'll write a book or find cancer's cure
Oh you meant my career? Oh dear me
How can I decide, I'm only fifteen!
Yes I'm taking Humanities, I hope I'll do well
(See how her smile suddenly fell!)
Yes aunty ARTS you're not going deaf
No I'm not 'bad' at studies, but Arts is my interest
