Carpe diem

Seated in the classroom
row by row
Waiting there patiently
anxious to know
why their teacher whas whistling so strangely.

He walked right on by
and into the hall
then turned around sharply
to let out a call
to tell them to follow.

He made them all examine
the ancient photographs
of teenage boys
much like themselves
sitting on the racks.

Mr. keating said "they're dead now"
"fertilizing daisies too"
That's why he said to sieze the day
Before your life is through.
