Some stars always shine,
Some stars never fade.
That's the star we're celebrating,
The luminary of Mathematics.
Boon Teik is moving on,
His time has come to pass.
He's heading to retirement,
No more days in class.
Boon Teik went into teaching
To make a difference in lots of lives.
Now he deserves our accolades,
Academic-type high fives.
His classroom management was tops,
His teaching style supreme.
Boon Teik's work published in The Torays,
Raising admirations and beams
His life outside the classroom,
Always varied, always full.
Baseball has etched into his life,
Cam video recorder his handy tool.
He's a model of consideration,
Kind-hearted, full of cheer.
If anybody wants to know,
Our Boon Teik is just a dear.
So positive in your nature,
And nurturing in your ways.
You are a legend of the classroom,
My inspiration and mentor.
Now it's time to explore new paths,
Out in the world and ambling.
To have fun and new adventures,
And perhaps -- a little gambling.
Just know we wish you well,
In fact, you deserve the best.
As teachers go, and as people,
You're just better than the rest.
With boundless warmth to match your own,
And gratitude for all your commitments,
We thank you, Boon Teik, we'll miss you.
And we wish you forever joy.
