They are a fantastic thing
You needn’t go to any schools
To ‘train’ to be one
You always have the ability
You needn’t have a sheet of paper
Eight by eleven with a rubber-stamped signature
Claiming you have the ability
To give these children knowledge
Nor do you need to stand in a class
With thirty-five children
With textbooks in hand
And lessons al planned out
All you need to have
Is something you already know
And a person of any age
Willing to soak up what you give out
All you need to know
Is that you are helping someone
Continue their education through you
And you have made a tiny difference to someone
