A Poem
JANUARY 2023
Like many unskilled enthusiasts, I am fond of dabbling regardless of quality. This poem was written to mark the establishment of VERVE Education. It is nothing other than a silly ditty that places the joy of exploration, the thrill of experimentation, the zest of risk-taking at the heart of educational life. Be many things - be kind, be considerate, be accident-prone - but above all, don't be dull.
The teacher knows it's their preserve
To cherish, treasure and conserve
The gift that learners all deserve:
Exploring every contour, curve,
Form, shape and pattern things observe.
Leaders devote themselves and serve
Provoke, inspire and touch a nerve
And give to learning zest and verve.
