To The Virgins, to Make Much of Time.

To The Virgins, to Make Much of Time.

As dictated by Faranza Syns

Read through this post from ages ago. And since it would be such a waste to let it stay in my drafts folder... POSTED! A piece of memory preserved.

___________________________________________

Today, in Poetry (which is awesomely taught by the extraordinarily dry-witted Mdm. Adibah), we were analysing the poem "To The Virgins, Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick (amid lots of sniggers and double-entendres and meaningful glances at the brothers.

Madam: Alright, Syafiq, will you do the honours, and recite the poem to the virgins? *turns to look at us girls* Of course, I'm saying this on assumption.

Girls: Gahaha.

Syafiq: *stands up and faces Ata', another brother*

Madam Adibah: Is Ata' a virgin, then, Syafiq, because you seem to be facing him.

Girls: *sniggers*

Doubtlessly, it was a wondrously hilarious session (albeit very harrying for the brothers).

Madam: Alright. Now, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." What does the word "rosebud" signify here?

Someone: Virginity?

Gahahaha.

Madam: Gather virginity? Really? *mock-surprise*

That was epic.

Madam Adibah: "Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry."
Alright, what is the speaker telling the "virgins"?
Someone: To go get married! *excitedly*
Madam Adibah: *sighs, rolls eyes* Yes, but what's before that? That is just the add-on. What's the main message?
Everyone: ...*silence*... (in our heads: "...GET MARRIED. GET MARRIED..."
Madam Adibah: *cocks her head to the side with mild aggravation* In the 1st line...
Someone: Gather experiences!
Madam Adibah: *sighs* Finally.
