Teacher & Student Tight Ties Poem by John Sensele

Teachers and students bond
In the classroom, in the lecture room
To ensure the teaching and learning process doesn't abscond
As teachers their students' future groom

In bonds that over time tie tighter
As the loco parentis role teachers pursue
To mould character, attitude, knowledge and skill in better and vaster
Quality, quantity and sanctity that ensue

When ignorance hitherto entrenched
Dies and lies in a cognitive intensive care unit
While cultures of best practice and best performance grow enmeshed
In society whose prosperity teachers and students knit

To man vital sectors of national economies
Although teachers sentimentally suffer when upon course completion students depart
After scaling with flying colours cognitive, affective and psycho motor taxonomies
When from teachers' company beloved students part.
