The Class

3rd of April, in the morning,

The kids of 8^th grade were brainstorming.

“Where do you think we’re going next?”

All of us were on this quest.

“A, B, C or D or do you think it’ll be E?

Any idea who’s in our class?”

But when we reached it

We were aghast!

In no time were all of us best of friends

And now we never want this time to end.

But what’s the use of telling you about a class,

If you don’t know about the members of its mass.

Let’s start with Swagata ma’am our class teacher

She may get mad at us at times,

And shout if we don’t walk in lines.

She may bang the duster when she’s flustered,

But I know her heart came straight out of a gold mine.

Now how about we go roll number wise,

Abizer is roll number 1,

Is sometimes irritating but loads of fun.

Amulya’s got roll number 2,

She’s a great dancer and a wonderful friend too.

Aniket has roll no 3,

He’s always with the Performa and is full of glee.

Anirban is roll number 4,

He isn’t very talkative but still isn’t a bore.

Anshika’s got roll number 5,

She loves to draw and her happiness is always alive.

Anuja is roll number 6,

She’s really sporty, but sometimes her emotions are mixed.

Arpit is roll number 7,

For him the world of wrestling is heaven.

Arun has roll number 8,

I think he’s crazy because he shouts “bull dog at his life’s stake.

Atharva is roll number 9,

He’s really agile and frequently kind.

Danish is roll number 10,

He’s amazing on the drums and has got his name changed to Ethan.

Roll number 11 is Debarati,

She is a great friend and loves biology.

Roll number 12 is Gauri,

Our classes monitor, a karate champion and an awesome buddy.

Ishaan is roll number 13,

He responds mostly to Ishit, he got his name changed you see.

Roll number 14 is taken by Jay,

He’s the boys monitor and a sleepy guy.

Roll number 15 was Kedar,

But he took a T.C and now has gone far.

So roll number 16 comes to Maithreyi,

She loves physics and is always happy!

Roll number 17 belongs to Mihir,

He loves taking my pouch, thinks he’s funny but actually needs mental care. (No offense)

Roll number 18 is Naveen,

He doesn’t say much, but he’s never mean

19 is my roll number,

But it’s for you to decide whether I’m nice or just a blunder

Payal is roll number 20,

One of my best friends and her smiles come in plenty

Roll number 21 is Priya,

She’s a little moody, an awesome friend and a “bright” star.

Roll number 22 is Pujan,

His punch lines are really smart and he is a lot of fun.

Roll number 23 belongs to Ranveer,

He is really quiet, but no game of chess does he fear.

Roll number 24 has been allotted to Rutwik,

He doesn’t talk much but is thinks really quick.

Roll number 25 belongs to Saagar,

He is another shining star and great at the guitar.

Roll number 26 is Saurabh,

Everyone calls him Gullu and all he does is mug, mug and mug!

27 is the roll number of Sharang,

He answers almost everything and has a great friend gang.

Shipra was 28,

She’s gone to Jaipur now but shes still someone we’ll never hate.

Shivani is 29,

She’s a bag full of fun and draws endless designs.

Shlok’s roll number is 30,

His sense of timing makes him the most naughty.

Spandan is roll number 31,

His poking game is annoyingly fun.

Tanayaa has roll number 32,

She and her frizzy hair are good friends too.

Vidhi is roll number 33,

I don’t think you’ll ever see a smile that brace-y.

Vishal is roll number 34,

He has a contradictory name and is always on the floor. (thanks to Arpit)

The last roll number 35 belongs to Yash,

He is a really good kid and always talks in a hush.

Without these folks our class would be incomplete, (dhuhh!)

And I hope next year in the same class we ALL meet

Every single memory of this class we shall cherish,

And I solemnly swear that my thoughts of IX B won’t be banished

Love you IX B!!!
