A workshop is in full swing
Disdain sorrow pain despair
Thirst hunger
The imperfect set of students
Act bona fide
Classes are designed
Twenty four seven
All set for review and repair.
Compassion love peace patience
Humble motivators
Grip the steering wheel
Bad boys turn good listeners
Good listeners are good learners
The flawed ones are new
Protagonists of reform.
They play their own beats
Instruments some broken
Rest are tuning fine
Chorus is sublime
Conflict of notes gives in.
Happy man drives his van in hills and planes
Lives with impediments
Does fix an even in between two odds
The odds and evens move one after another
Happy man perfect in arranging integers.
