"a feather in my cap please sir," i told my teacher bold and true
"for such an accolade," he said "i must see the work you do"
"this praise i seek," i said "is not for work ive done
but for things i'm going to do then pass on to my son"
"but this work you speak of, how can it be praised
when tomorow's work has not come around and ne'er a tool was raised"
i replied "i speak of great things of honour and strength and pride
and these i work at daily, you know of this" i cried
"and these lessons i have learned, i will pass on to my son
for if this is your only teaching then dad your work is done"
