Analysis of DINING TEACHERS

Kaci Tami 1960 (Vatukoula)



Teachers at dinners are a waiter's nightmare
With their rhetoric
Raised to the heavens
Extolling the fine wine
The calamari, the octopus in sauce smothered
We all heaved a collectve sigh
As dinner began
Much to the waiter's chagrin
They didnt realise
That we are those
entrusted to educate
are just like fellow diners out there
who peruse the menus with prejudice
As the clamour inundates
The cozy confines of the restaurant
The waiter rings a bell
That is met with a pregnant pause
Maybe he didnt realise that
Teachers all together as a restaurant
on the last day of term don't
really care for ettiquette
for finess
or quiet solitude
Who cares?
When in fine company
Nothing educationally sound
comes to mind
But the mindless rhetoric and drunkeness
to accompany the celebration
of a school year at end.

Kaci Tami

I am an aspiring writer, poet, teller of tales that is me. I have always seen things in a different light and from my perspective, it gives you an insight into what makes me tick as a human being. My life is always hectic and the most important thing I have learnt is that there are three things that one should value in life (a) Your loved ones (b)Your health (c) The memories you create with people. In the end, we all leave this world alone, so spend time creating memories and meaningful relationships with individuals and society at large. My poems reflect my perspective on the world at large both real and imagined. I am in the process of collating an anthology of poems so I can share my likes, dislikes and life with others. Thank you for reading my poems more…
