THE TEST

The TEST!


“Do not talk while you are doing the test,” 
announced the mean bearded pest. 
Now SHSHOW it, no one lookin’ this way Quick! 
What’s the answer for 1a? 
My chum is all glum and pale “Pss-st!” 
I whisper down the aisle 
Joey is mumblin’ the response in caution, 
Alas! 
I detect a footfall in motion! 
My – my. . 
it’s too damn late! 
He has sealed his fate!  
A pair of brawny hands grabs my pal 
And hauls him up paper and all! 
He’s going to blurt; I fear a demotion! 
The beast is squeezin’ a confession 
No beans spilt no cats let out, 
but Poor sobbing Joey got a rosy butt 
The ugly teacher contorted and yelled 
“I told you do not talk while doing the test!

My uncle, who was a medical practitioner, seemed to understand the reason behind my not so acceptable behaviour. He quickly got me to a private room adjacent

FARRTING

The college hostel where I was admitted turned out to be a virtual prison, with a priest warden to control and constrain.  Father Stephen, a tall lean hungry looking man, was a tyrant and ruled his dominion with an iron hand. At least that’s what he thought, until some of us showed up!  Prakash and Anthony were terrors; George and Gopalan were the wicked ones; we were no saints either. Anyway, to cut the long story short, we started a farting spree as a way of getting at the warden, who felt the numerous tubers planted in the hostel campus should be used in our diet. The farting Satyagraha rocked the foundation of the hostel.  Scouts would spy for the warden’s arrival. The moment he climbed the steps from the porch, the collective farting would start. There would be different types of farts, the silent and deadly ones to the rumbling and thundery ones. Some creative boys managed to make the sing song ones while the amateurs got a variety of gassing going - longish ones, several short
