Ready Sack Letter of a School

In her school The Readily Received: Staff didn’t let herself be deceived By flashed smiles finer than “How are you?” “Last-minute sack letter always slew!” A Good Montessori’s Love letter Teachers handed it “See you, later” And one had flared at me “Betrayer!” For with speaker I was her payer: “Miss Janice, time for your envelope Plus Mummy’s Best Wishes as you cope…” Tremble instruction I’d obeyed And back home would lie in brooding bed: A directoress that promptly pays But eternally watching your ways, Not once, not twice bilious anger grew: A child in Rejected Red, not Blue… A female teacher in trousers gone: She shall her finish with Russian Gun; One in body hug or the sleeveless A quite mad thing as good as useless; The Married risking poor child spacing Their names on staff list to start tracing: “Serious teachers their salaries need No dime for ones who often breast feed.”
