POEMS

DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION

LOST

Lost is how I feel when nobody is there

I feel lonely as if nobody cares

I hate the loneliness that surrounds me

Even when my dear ones are not around me

Sometimes I wanna run away from this mad place

To somewhere, where nobody sees my face

Why doesn't anybody understand my situation?

I can only fell my frustration

I wish my family could be on my side

I try but in know I am not so bright

Some people think that I am a brat

Studies are important I understand that

Sport is my first and only passion

I can't practice in this situation

I feel the pressure al the time

But I realized that the fault is all mine

I'll try hard and give my best shot

But there is a doubt in my mind that I cannot

I have got very less time

But I hope everything turns out fine.

 

 Shiva Anand  X - A

If I were a raindrop

One day when I was floating in the sky,

A strong gust of wind blew by

My friend held me tight

And I held her with all my might

I wanted to be with my friend forever

And I'll tell you how I was clever

Just as we were rushing down

I touched a little sticky round

With the hand that was like a glue cake

I held my friend till my hand ached

Just then I landed where I wanted to be

It was the gigantic blue sea!

And then I gave a sigh of relief

As we would be together even while looking at the coral reef

In the sea we had lots of fun

We escaped from the hot sun

But even now I can't forget evaporation

Or my return through condensation

Our school library uses the widely accepted and appreciated Dewey Decimal System. Our experienced and able librarians have used this system to organize and categorize all the books in our school library. This system which is based on mathematics is logical and has made usage of our library very easy.

 Dewey Decimal classification is the most widely used method of classifying books in a library. It is named after Melvil Dewey, who developed it in 1876. This system classifies books by dividing them into 10 main groups each represented by figures, as in the table given below.

Each of these 10 main classes is broken up into more specialized fields. For example, class 600-699, Technology, is subdivided into 10 special classes. Each of these divisions is further subdivided. The numbers 630-639, for example, represent agriculture and are subdivided into such classes as Field crops, Garden crops and Dairy and Related Technologies.

When the classification becomes very fine, decimals are used to represent specific areas. For example, books on useful insects, such as bees and silkworms, are under the number 638.1, and those on silkworms in 638.2.

A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver said, “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.” In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong. “The bus driver insulted me,” she fumed. The man sympathised and said, “Why, he’s a public servant and shouldn’t say thing to insult passengers.” “You’re right,” she said. “I think I’ll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind”. That’s a good idea,” the man said. “Here, let me hold your monkey!”

A panda walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, “Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and didn’t pay for your sandwich!”

The panda yells back at the bartender, “Hey man, I’m a PANDA! Look it up!”

The bartender opens the dictionary and sees the following definition for panda: “A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterised by distinct black and white colouring. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
