Girls and boys, they plan too soon
That they will reach Mars or Moon
Some dream to be Engineers
Or in some field great pioneers
Some want to become doctors
Some soldiers- the nation’s protectors
Some businessmen
Some just ordinary men
But isn’t it sad?
And extremely bad
That all this is a fad
Just dreams, sweet and mad
And what they all usually say is “I’ll do that and I’ll do this”
But dear friends, the present you better not miss
Because tomorrow you have exams
So study and shun these shams.
