Our New Teacher at School

by Ruhee Parelkar aged 12

When I share this tale with you
You may find it strange,
We’ve got a new teacher at school
A new teacher, for a change.

He’s the smartest teacher in the school
I’m sure none can ever deny,
And when I won a race at school
He gave me a high-five!

And sometimes when I am naughty
Or when my grades go down,
He shouts and scolds at me
And scares me with a frown.

Once I banged against the wall,
Scraped my knee and fell,
He helped me with the first-aid
Till I stopped to shout and yell.

On the days I forget my lunchbox
I find him unusually kind,
He readily shares his lunch with me,
Which I too never mind.

My classmates feel he is weird,
The weirdest teacher we’ve ever had,
They still don’t know the secret…
Our teacher is my DAD!
