A tribute to great teachers of Richmond
Physics, chemistry, botany and zoo
Mathematics, history, religion too
When, what and how to do
You taught without much ado
Good habits, manners and social grace
To face problems with a smiling face
And forget enmity leaving no trace
That slow and steady, wins the race
Every morning as we climbed the Hill
It wasn't just walking to a tuition mill
Ready in body and mind after the drill
The way you taught gave us a thrill
Without rushing home for your lunch
Staying late with the students bunch
Giving us food for thought to munch
Not for a fee, that was the crunch!
For being genuine in what you do
Fame or wealth you did not woo
Dedicated gurus to the letter true
Teachers of Richmond,
We worship you
- Dr. Sarath Gamini de Silva
