TOLU'S DIARY

TUESDAYS 10 AM

Hi diary,

I came across a quote from English novelist; Marie Corelli which goes thus ‘’…what the fool cannot learn, he laughs at, thinking that by his laughter he shows superiority instead of latent idiocy’’. I therefore come up with a poem titled ‘I will learn to learn’ to charge you this day. It goes thus:

                                  I will learn to learn

Reading all the pages to ages,

                                  With rages as sages,

                                  From Dark Age to this age,

                                  I’ll never be a fool.

                                  I will learn to learn,

                                  Listening to words from the lord,

                                  As the board I’ll hoard

                                  The word to change my world

                                   Because I’ll never be a fool.

                                   I will learn to learn,

                                   Meditating all parts to be smart

                                   As I line up my charts pinned by a dart,

                                   The facts will make men doff their hat

                                   And I’ll never be a fool.

                                    I will learn to learn,

                                    Showing others the order,

                                    And my brother that won’t bother

                                    To stutter in the cold weather

                                    So as not to be a fool.

                                    Will you learn to learn?

                                    Seriously and not idiocy

                                    It’s not superiority but conformity

                                    To live so as to live

                                    And never be a fool.
