I know a teacher, big and strong
Who at our school can do no wrong.
Charbel Baini is his name,
He's the one of "Tarboush*" fame.
-2-
He's written books, a man of letters,
All his works are free of fetters.
He loves to write and publish works
For idle writers this really irks.
-3-
He teaches Arabic at this school
He loves the language, it's a tool.
For poets, dramatists and kindred such
His pupils learn. They owe him much.
* Tarboush: Turkish hat, a name of a play written by Charbel Baini
