Star School

(Karama, Dubai, U.A.E.)

Stars, they have their own school
as humans have their school

As we learn about the stars
they learn about the universe including mars

All are not present in the class
as the teacher teaches, they just pass

They take admissions every day
unlike us they don't have to pay

When the storms come like piercing arrows
they shut the clouds, their windows

On certain days, teacher will take leave
on those days stars will relieve

On winter, teacher comes early
preparing the question papers eagerly

They have a moving school
they don't have to sit on a stool

Our classes start early
but their classes begins at night daily

In winter, their timings go wrong
as it becomes too long

When their class ends
stars will thank their teacher, the Moon, and go with their friends
