Two Teachers by Hardy Parkerson

I wrote some verses just for fun; My teacher read them, I was glad; She told me where I had gone wrong, And I was sad.

I wrote more verses just for her; I hoped she'd take another look At what I'd done when I was home And I had put away my book.

"I haven't time to read your poems!" She snapped; "I'm busy can't you see! I've other things I'd rather do Than read your poetry!"

How cruel my teacher was back then To say such hateful thing to me; When I was just a lad of ten, And she treated me so cruelly!

But as I grew, advanced in school, My high school teacher said to me, "Your poems are cool, you're no one's fool! Son, keep writing that poetry!"
