For my students who are taking up engineering courses, how does this poem strike you?

AN ENGINEERING STUDENT'S LAWS FOR SUCCESS

First Law states:
To pass an engineering course, as said;
One must have a simple harmonic motion with his schedules,
Where one's quotient of his velocity and acceleration in doing things is budgeted,
And where one's product of his force in performance and how far he is displaced for every undertaking is one of his rules.

Second Law states:
The quantities involved in college life must have a magnitude and direction.
These two when collided will have a perfectly inelastic collision,
Wherein, if properly used, the course through engineering would have a uniform velocity motion.
Even though, one can't disregard friction.

Third Law states:
Life in the university is no luxury cruise.
One must know the kinematics and dynamics of this life,
Because this would be of good use
When the torque of life comes along like a knife.

Fourth Law states:
(This "law" is the most important because it applies in any case.)
When one is praying to the Almighty above,
Giving one's best,
And being filled with love,
One could make the rough times in equilibrium or may be at REST.


Now, who says physics and literature don't mix? Try making up your own! :-)
