Ashley Period 8 and 9 Room 228

Dear current (and future) teachers

         I would like to point something out
It's a little habit that I see
         most of you have
I'm not saying you underestimate me
I'm not saying I'm really smart
And by no means am I
        "above average."
But most of you do this thing,
that I find quite annoying
          you repeat and point out
                                   everything they say
                                   everything I've already
                                   everything that I do.
I'm not saying I'm perfect,
      because I know nobody is,
but would you please quit telling me
      someone else's mistakes
and just point out mine?
