TRAINEE TEACHER POETICALLY DESCRIBES FOSCO.

Foso College of Education is one of the 46 public Teacher Training Colleages in Ghana. The College is know by its academic excellence as well as the exceptional training she gives to trainee teachers who looks no further, rather, finds themselves in such a reputable institution.

Poetically, a trainee teacher describes the College and her academic excellence with hard core lines that his specificity nature makes his go the long way referring to the other colleages as “NGOs, Cottages and Clubs”.

I have come to realize the rare truth
But hard in believeing like pulling your tooth
Let them pride in possessing vanities
But we’ll preserve our greenish entities
And what it takes a College to have
See those schools flying like a dove
Perching to ears that are all deaf
GREAT FOSCO sings to legends on earth
Born to impart and impact the wrongs.
Where lengends are made is where I belong!

At the mention of GREAT FOSCO, they bow
And quiver like Desert leaves making a vow
That never shall they promulgate this again
That FOSCO, our efforts are swinged in vain.
Look! I stood behind closed doors a mile away
Seeing those colleages kneeling at the Airport alley
Faces all petered like they’re jesued to death
FOSCO ladies spoke and just imagine the mirth
Voice so charming like an edible lips sweet to taste
But listen! “these don’t suit our taste”, says, our Queens

The greens for the flag of excellence we hoist
The Titanic that catapults us to pounce and conquer
Millennium Falcons that attack with their talons
And the hospitals that revolutionize psyches for A’s
The statehouse where elites rule over plebs
Look at the ever joyful Zongos doing it once more!
Your college wish they could join Aboabo but NO WAY!
To those colleges, let me hear you shout GREAT FOSCO!
For this is where legends are made, grown and reaped!

FOSCO, the conetstone upon which towers are built
Our field that tastes sweats from Heroes from Zeros
You may grumble, mumble, but FOSCO, you cannot resemble
You’re welcome to the abode where water tastes Freshest
Here, where everyone is a keeper of his brother’s fowl
Here where love drizzles on us at Principal Service
Greens that fades not while the maroons fade out
See them wishing like beggars that they could join us
FOSCO, the one true school standing out among zillions
Talk to me of success and your conscience shall out – tongue
Records in the archives we have kept for unseen posterities.

I used to tickle myself and laugh about words untrue
That there are two colleges in Ghana as said by them
Listen up! Stop tossing your hearts hither and thither
Wash your hands from tarradidles, as FOSCO preaches
Ghana, our nation we have held in high esteem from birth
Of which we always to her promise on our honour
Has just one, mono, single and a one true college
Situated and predestined that excellence we shall hoist
But that which is called love is love and not a dove
So, FOSCO, the one true College the rest had wished to rep.
Listen! You better abandon that your NGO and join a School
Said you better exit from that Club and join a College
Better leave that your cottage to join an autonomous society
FOSCO, said to be the pride of Assin that we hold our waist and say
Guys! This is FOSCO, this is where I call Heaven on earth

I made a turn to the west, to the east, South and North
And saw buildings – bizzare and as old as Babel’s tower
Come to my FOSCO, where greens make up the landscape
That here, where life assumes one spent in heaven
FOSCO, the name we stand akimbo and proudly mention
That school trembles when we call out our motto
But Character, Wisdom and Knowledge our Hallmark be
Like the morning sun from the East, we brightly rise
And proudly cry out loud our name that fade not
GREAT FOSCO! CHARACTER, WISDOM and, KNOWLEDGE.

Sometimes I just imagine myself being with them
Wouldn’t I have turned into an Ox like Nebuchadnezzar?
A dead dog might have worth than I do, I know for sure
Guys, once in your lifetime if you visit FOSCO not,
Then you are yet to know what beauty is in naturality
Huuu haaa! We shout out loud and giggle all day long
Believing, like Vodafone, the future is exciting
I’ve got nothing to worry of, my dear competitor
Our deligent staff making it possible this year too
Aren’t you aware? We did it again as always we do

Now look at you! Faces as wry as the airport pavements
You wish you had been in a school but just see,
God proposed but your disobedience disposed
Enjoy your stay in hell – the eternal damnation
As I briskly walk on the greens that gladens me
Enjoy your moments of midnight- torch- weeding
And I shall boast of a work- free stay on campus
With character, Wisdom, and knowledge our motto,
Ahead we always look, serving our great FOSCO,
ARISE and provide to them light, my FOSCOS
For the pacesetters in our midst do dwell.

ARISE, AND SHINE ✊✊✊
