Poetry written for Teachers' Day 2003

Mrs Lim

Integration, differentiation
Oh the joy of vectors
Siting in a chair
Pulling out my hair
Over questions that I can’t fathom
Mathematical induction, Maclaurin’s expansion
Is it really a Poison distribution?

Thank you Mrs Lim, thank you
For you enthusiasm and care
Even in times when I can’t permutate
Your love for maths
I wish I had
Especially when the answer proves wrong
After trying for so long
Its weird how the sun comes out
Because you glance over my paper

Thank you Mrs Lim, thank you
For being there for me
Before, during and after lessons
Clearing my doubts
And spurring me on
Pressing toward the mark
Of perfection at the A’s

Did I remember to thank you?

Ms G

Dear Ms G, here are my teachers’ day blessings for you.

May your personal space be cockroach free
To prevent you from climbing up a tress
May your health be good all year round
Just like our grades that will come from out of town
May laughter fill your days
Now and always
Finally I must say:
May God bless you in every way
And
Happy Teachers’ Day!

Ms Koh

Ms Koh, oh Ms Koh
Econs would never be the same
Without you
The tutorials, the P.E.N.G.S and B.R.E.X
Learning to be concise and precise
Kinda tough at times

Ms Koh, oh Ms Koh
Thank you, yes thank you
The lectures and extra lessons
Time spent coaching me
Not to forget the occasional
Words of encouragement
Seeing me through
Tests and MCQs plus exams
Even the depressing times

Wishing my brain cells
Would increase at and increasing rate
However due to the fact that my creativity follows
The law of diminishing marginal returns
My poem thus comes to a close.
