Herding Puppies

Have you ever had a dream where you were herding puppies, But they were piling on each other, licking, and lollygagging, Laughing, and giggling, and incessantly playing? Have you wished perpetually to dance, and color, and sing, and play All day long? Do you understand that children want love More than food or water or air? Do you get excited about silly stuff? Can you tell jokes? Do you know what a riddle is? Can you put all your sarcasm on a stove burner and burn it up? Do you like to dance? To sing? To skip? To hop? Would you like to dress in a bunny suit and read a story, as a bunny? Do you respect and love children? Do they amuse you? Can you be amused without making fun of them? Congratulations. You, my dear, are a kindergarten teacher.
