A Poem for Teacher
My mother asked me yesterday, how things were going at
school.
She said to give her details and to tell her what was cool.
I thought real hard, I strained my brain, And then I let
it rip.
I decided not to leave anything out, as the words tumbled
from my lips.
Calen got in trouble for pushing Keith in line,
Jerry got an A on his test, and Lisa’s doing fine.
Jim forgot his homework, which made the teacher frown,
Austin ran fast on the playground, at least until he fell
down.
Jesse, Joan, and Jennifer giggled all day long,
The music teacher, Mrs. Staff, tried to teach a song.
Things were going really swell until Joe peeked at
Tiffani’s test.
The whole class had to hear a speech about not cheating
and doing your best.
Everybody said “Oooh,” when Jeremiah began to pick his
nose.
The room began to stink when Linda took off her shoes and
wiggled her toes.
Nobody liked it when Kelly threw up, and the phone rang
three times during Spelling.
Travis was finking on all of the kids, and Teacher told
him to stop telling!
Robert tipped his chair back and cracked his head on a
desk.
Dale’s tooth fell out in a pool of blood, and Lori was a
great big pest.
There was a practice fire drill just five minutes after
Teacher started math,
Joshua yelled across the room that Becky needs a bath.
I guess nothing really special happened on this day,
But at least I am the teacher, and I’m going to get some
pay!
