Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Maximum Retention

In school, Maxwell never paid attention
Got punished with maximum detention --
  They seized his smartphone
  Maxwell moaned and groaned --
But, Wow! ~ Did it improve his retention!

Lindsay Laurie July 11, 2019 at 6:52 PM Hello Gershon … great limerick. Should be repeated at the beginning of every class until the message sinks in. Schools are beginning to begin banning all devises here - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf July 11, 2019 at 8:17 PM Here, here! Aye aye, sir! Thanks for the affirmation, Lindsay. Appreciated. :) gw

Caren Krutsinger July 10, 2019 at 8:05 PM I wish you had written this limerick about the teachers who have to run to look at theirs at every little beep when they are teaching! This drives ME nuts! Gershon Wolf July 11, 2019 at 11:22 AM Hmm. Interesting point about those teachers who are always running to check their smartphones. They never get terminated, do they = Maximum Retention! LOL. Thanks for pointing this out, Caren. :) gw
