On the rear Bench
On the rear Bench
I was late, I was late
I was very much late
Bell had rung, the classes full,
all were very quiet.
I entered the class
with silent steps
I don't know how,
but my eyes felt tears
Ma'am said, 'Now
on the rear bench you sit
Nut behind and hold
your toes before you sit.'
There was a whisper
and a bit of laughter
Never t I'd be
at the center of such matter.
After holding my toes
I took bench in the rear
Slowly and slowly,
my head became clear.
Couldn't see much of
what was on the board
Straightened my neck
and became a little bold.
No one could see me,
I could see their backs
I was quite attentive
my mind was never lax.
Feeling a little drowsy,
I put my head on the desk
Slept for ten minutes,
there wasn't any risk.
Through the window
then saw the white clouds
floating
Kites were circling
and the birds were singing.
Punishment wasn't awful,
there wasn't a bad sign
On the rear bench I sensed,
everything was fine.
