Chubby Sonnet

sweet melodious sound out of you
song about parting at end of school year
favored by students internationally ring true
the Amharic version sung by grandma you must hear
listening to the big words full of lesson
I wonder if your heart and soul comprehend
trusting the school experience thrust-ed upon
mingling with hundreds of kids in a compound
taking orders abiding by all the rules
leading life following yearly schedule
replacing parents discovering world through teachers
carrying back bag lunch box ready to roll
every morning where you can comfortably roam
school is indeed home away home!
