Pal’s teachers would complain
about his unkempt hair.
They combed his hair made him
look presentable,
He will make his friends believe
that he comes from a poor family,
His father a daily wage earner
and his mother uneducated.
He came to school in a
chauffer driven car,
when mom entered his class
to review his performance,
the classmates could not
believe to see a dignified,
well informed and elegant lady
Pal held his head down.
He did not lift his eyes when
the teacher appraised mom
of his unsatisfactory progress,
and his disclosures,
Pal continues being dubious,
speaking one, doing other
mixing lies and deceit liberally.
