Nette Onclaud Poet Limerick

English Teacher

Our vain English teacher Miss Larue

     Flaunts bad grammar without a clue,

    Roars she, ‘ You’re scores is down

Irregardless, don’t frown’—

  Her job , we guess, the school won’t renew!

Andrea Dietrich July 27, 2025 at 1:25 PM great one. I wonder how many people "get" the joke. Please see my soupie right away, Nette.

L. J. Carber January 21, 2019 at 9:47 AM As a former English teacher, I got a kick 'outta dis one'!

Sara Kendrick January 18, 2019 at 5:01 PM Cute one. Yes, we might know correct grammar when we write but when we speak sometimes we really mess up following what we experienced in our home and neighborhood. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Thanks for stopping by my page. Sara

Paul Callus January 10, 2019 at 11:53 AM Very funny, Nette:) Time for her students to change place with her! Hugs // paul

Jennifer Proxenos January 10, 2019 at 12:05 AM I think that this fun poem is true of many countries around the world. We communicate in many different languages in South Africa, but some of the spoken/written english that i receive on our business emails is sad. English not their mother tongue, Afrikaans is! Poetry wishes, Jennifer.

James Inman January 6, 2019 at 10:29 AM This is why I don't speak Spanish. I'd sound like your teacher. : )

Besma Riabi Dziri January 6, 2019 at 8:53 AM That sweet, refined and elevated dimension you definitely have and master, dear Nette, as you cleverly and beautifully pen a funny caricature of a teacher who does not master teaching! A great joy to read.. I highly value your poetry dearest.. keep shining. God bless.

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2019 at 8:35 PM haha, teacher with bad grammar. That was a good one!

Tom Cunningham January 5, 2019 at 3:55 PM Nice limerick Nette, someone needs a new job. Good luck. Tom.

Noel Onat January 5, 2019 at 2:55 PM Totally amusing especially her quotes. For me , it was a history teacher who messed up dates of important events. I read your compliments. Thank you !
