The bell rings. Yet the chatter doesn't cease.
There's that croak from the back again "Quiet!"
The body is young but the shuffle 
To the front suggests otherwise.
"Alright, today we are going begin...
Romeo and Juliet!" 
The lads groan and ladies giggle.
Yes yes, so romantic!
No so... wrong.

 

The books are open to page so and so.
Students stutter verbally and mentally.
"Oh, see he comes to her window to express his love!"
Uh no. To stalk her actually.
There is no translated words.
How do you get the message 
The author conveys without
Knowing the sly movement he uses?

 

Yes, the movie is watched.
Essays written.
Yawn. All are about love right?
All given A's except the few slacks.
Who didn't even think to stay awake

During the overdramatic movie.
The next objective begun."Alright!" says the authoritative voice.
Already standing in front. With a beaming face.
"Today lads, you will learn how to make
A lady literally give her life for you.
And ladies, how clever men are 
To woo you. Ah yes, Romeo and Juliet!"
There's a mix of mild interest
Since that was a new theme to them.

 

Packets. Thick packets. There's the groans and sighs.
"You can sigh, but then you won't get to see the translation 
Behind the fog of your breath."
Finally! They understand! 
"See? Stalk a girl, 
throw rocks at her window, 
tell her how beautiful she is,
And suggest your love promises 
Danger. Perfect way to get in her bed.
While half a hour ago
You were shouting for other."
And they say chivalry is dead.

 

Students chuckle at the subtle jokes.
They compare watching the movie.
Watch how everyone makes it to be
Something the author didn't intend. 
Essays- analytic. Some about love
Others not. All awarded nonetheless.The way one gets the attention of others
Without snapping fingers. 
Is important.
The one knows the needs of learners, 
And delivers with wits. 
Is successful.
To know what you teach,
How to teach it,
And how to stick it
While being inviting.
Is teaching.
