At twenty-two
Owned a Fiat 600
In nineteen sixty
Was a new teacher in my school
Was proud and happy too
Five days a week for sure
Drove my shining blue 'Beauty'
My duty,
to teach my dear students
In those good old days
In my beloved
hometown
Then one Summer vacation
Took a break in
Singapore
With three sisters of mine
Sightseeing and shopping
Then sailing and
fishing
Our minds so free from work
Time spent together was
like precious treasure
How we laughed and
sang all night
How we joked about
the language difficulty
How we boasted what
we learnt about
people's culture and customs
At twenty two
Life as a teacher was
more refreshing
Was young, my brain could
function faster
In nineteen sixty
Had more patience to
cope with any encounter
Had more energy to
motivate students to
study harder
Oh Fiat 600 of Mine
In nineteen sixty
Fond memories of YOU
STILL makes me
Proud and Happy
