My Contst Pom

In front of a blackboard I walk
Around in my classroom and talk
Of motion and fall,
Gravity on a ball,
My hands and my shirt full of chalk.

This is a superb entry for Viv's contest, Agnes! Takes me back to my early teaching years when no interactive whiteboards were available. Regards // paul

I am now retired, Agnes. English was my main subject. Physics, eh! clever you:) My elder brother taught physics and chemistry; I preferred languages. Regards // paul

Thanks for stopping by, Paul. What are you teaching? I prefer blackboard over white board any time.

That's a wonderful Limerick Agnes. If my science teachers had been as witty as you, I might have aid a bit more attention in school.
