SLEEPY HOLLOW

Today, I attended a session of LAB (Legal Aspects of Business) with the other section. I was so sleepy, that the only way, I probably could keep awake was by scribbling! The outcome of my scrabbling is pasted below! Enjoy reading... FYI: The protagonist is one of the student panelists.

It’s yet another LAB class,
Without a beaker or a test tube glass!
A course which discusses legality,
Throwing light on prevalent immorality.

Painful ‘coz the classroom’s a horse-shoe,
Anywhere you sleep, the prof can see you!
He rambles about cases true,
Every session a student panel is due.

Today was my panel day…
The day that should never come, we pray!
I entered the class-room, groomed in red;
Lest I forget my case-facts, I dread.

But alack, alas… I opened my inning,
The mic made its way from the very beginning!
The previous day’s case was to be discussed…
Gracious! Before class, a friend had buzzed!

I went on rambling till I made some sense
The other two panelists pillowing hence!
Battling from the last row, I could see…
Sleepy hollows staring blankly at me!

I see so many sleepy heads
Caressing the wooden benches like cozy beds!
I see a friend…
His head tilted like the leaning tower of Pisa
O Leonardo!
Paint his portrait…Why do you need Mona Lisa!

A class of seventy… only two know what’s on,
Talks of legal battles; amidst many a yawn!
Suddenly the previous panelists were cold-called
O boy, I can’t tell you how much I was enthralled!

A sigh of relief, I am done with my part…
Talking non-stop non-sense is such an art!
‘What’s your learning for the day?’ asked he;
“A skilled cunning lawyer I can never be!”
