I consider myself a teacher of mathematics. I have an MSc at the University of

South Africa and a PhD at the University of Pretoria but people mostly know

Your poem's tragic end is masterly...

This one guy
Posted on Thu, 24 Jan 2019
This one guy called a friend of mine "deep" so he answered "Then you must be shallow". Reminds of Shakespeare hey? Fascinating dialogue yes. Couragous. And originail is it? Good idea- to keep it short. Good idea yes.
