bitterly i remember
in my first simplification class
i forgot BODMAS.
boys around me
solved gleefully
while my pencil
showed no will
to budge with the clock
bent on making me a laughing stock
before my peers.
it's such times in life
when devils raid
to come to your aid.
i gave a furtive look
to the notebook
of the boy next to me
put an equal to sign
and to the sum's next line
wrote nine.
what followed i would keep to mine.
