Childhood, no more a time ‘tis to chill,
What a way, child's very child to kill!
It's time to draw a line,
Every child's no Einstein,
S@tire, but enough of truth there's still.

Congratulations Pathakji..Every child's no Einstein.
A brilliant limerick Sir! I congratulate you once again! To MyPoemList
I notice, you were the first to give the feedback when it was not yet a POD, and the last today... thank you so much.
A wonderful, insightful and wisdom filled limerick. A witty short write that creates a deep impact. A must read for all parents who want to shape their children the way they wanted them to be. Congratulations, Sir Aniruddha for a well deserved accolade.
A child would have to be exceptionally talented to be compared with the scientist of relativity and place-time-Albert Einstein. A parent may have too high expectations of their child- not uncommon.The cartoon is so right.
Well said, such great expectations.. Albert Einstein, but parents should beware, it might turn out to be another Frankenstein. Thanks dear poet.

I would like to translate this poem
The poem highlights the paradox of education where a small child carries the burden of his elders' ambition on his shoulders with regard to his projected career to be pursued by him in future. Written in a lighter vein, the content of the limerick is quite thought provoking. Thanks a lot.
