Mrs M a Fastidiously Fussy Teacher

Mrs M was a teacher with a clean desk there was only one pencil in there it was always sharpened and a pink eraser that looked brand new I never saw an ink pen the top of her desk had a small plaque with her name starting with Mrs. of course Even though she was divorced She never wanted the students to know about it We all did She was fastidiously neat and fussy staying late to sterilize desks and seats she inadvertently taught me one big lesson I never wanted to be like her She was too punctilious; cleanliness was her world. Students were probably twenty-six on her priority list.
