My Teachers
Mrs. Campbell rewarded me
with time in the closet
with her fur coat.
Mrs. Cantor helped me to speak
when the words wouldn't come,
and laughed at my jokes,
setting an unfortunate precedent.
Mrs. Whittman lived next door,
and never missed an opportunity
to come over to chat about
my test scores.
Mr. Lerch blew things up just for fun,
kept a dead tarantula in a terrarium,
and introduced me
to Pink Floyd.
Ms. Lamb married me and,
every day, helps me to
see the good in
everything.
