Constance La France Poet Narrative

Miss Poisson

My favorite teacher,
        in grammar school was Miss Poisson;
      yes, that's fish in French but nothing fishy,
        about Miss Poisson-  kids loved her!
  I recall so many field trips to museums, 
  even the Mint where Canada money is made;
    and lots of other great places,
              then. we wrote about it . . .

              or we drew a picture,
        we could also paint a picture;
      and she often showed us films of places,
        she had gone on vacation to;
  Miss Poisson was pretty and too sexy to last,
  in a Roman Catholic school and was gone soon;
    she had awaken me to things,
              not taught in the classroom!
