Distance Learning Begins! (From A Child On April 6,2020) Poem by Malabika Ray Choudhury

I like distance learning!
I think, it's good for me!
I got up so late,
Still I could catch up with my class!
I don't see my brilliant teacher! Is she still in bed?
But I see her not-so-tough assignment.

I don't really see my precious friends,
But I can see they are all there!
Oh, no! One or two are missing!
Sure they will catch up by tomorrow evening.

It's terrific, it's impressive, it so much fun!
I have a superbly hilarious story to listen!
About Lima beans!
Guess what!
My mom is cooking it right now!
Ms. Jolly left a challenging word-game,
She is so kind! She knows I am thrilled with them,
Most probably she had me in her mind!
Mr. De Fillipis assigned his class a complicated math problem!
No problem, I will solve it before anyone else!

Oh my!
We can do Music and Phys. Ed, in this classroom,
That's splendiferous fun!
Have a great time, everyone!
The day will pass unwrinkled, smoothly, like a breeze,
I won't bother my already-stressed mom.
We are all ,
Mom and Dad and Me and Joan.
It's a little sad that we can't play tag outside,
Although the sun is shining so bright!
The birds are chirping their sweetest songs,
And we are all home-bound!

Right now, I am supremely glad
I have distance learning,
Even if I make mistakes,
Nobody will catch me.
