Rubai of mine

---

Of the plenty of goods to be found on the shelves,

I picked up only four little cheap coffee bags,

You would ask me, my reader, the reason for that,

And I answer: for me and for three of my friends.

---

I have seen students cheat - each and every exam,

But I have to admit: neither papers nor phones

Help a dumb man; whether cheating, or not,

All the same - he ends up with a fail.

People say summer days are the best in the year;

But my viewpoint is opposite, I fear.

For who, in sound mind, loves the dust or the heat,

When compared to the winter relief?
