First Day At School Poem by Raj Arumugam

Tom’s moved in to a new suburb
It’s a new term and new school too;
he sits beside this pretty girl
in class, trying to impress her
and Tom says to the girl:
“Hi…Did you listen to the Principal
talk in the hall? He’s an absolute idiot,
don’t you think? ”

“Do you know who I am? ”
replies the girl

“No, ” says Tom, wondering
what this is about
“Who are you? ”

“I’m the Principal’s daughter, ”
says the girl

“Oh, ” says Tom
and then he says:
“Do you know who I am? ”

“No, ” says the girl
“I don’t know who you are”

“Oh, that’s good then, “
says Tom, quite relieved
