My favorite high school teacher was Miss Constance Uren You heard me right the first time so don't ask her name again At first the kids were naughty since her name was so unique Telling bathroom jokes a plenty with requests to take a leak She'd seen their kind before, Miss Uren was ready for them All she simply did ignore, speaking Spanish ad infinitum Of course they were confused, which left them feeling somewhat foolish Then she softened her approach, so as not to seem so ghoulish From that point on our classes' bad behavior was not repeated Except those spending time learning Spanish `expletives deleted' I had Miss Uren's class 4 years, Spanish I through Spanish IV As a high school language teacher she was all that you could hope for
