New Gorgeous Teacher In Stilettos

new teacher was gorgeous - tall, svelte, with bouncy hair
the rest of us elementary teachers are in sneakers
She breezed in dressed in six inch stilettos
wait until she has to chase one of them we thought

she never had to, the janitor and cook did it for her
they never did it for any of the rest of us
of course we are old, dowdy and cynical
out of breath from chasing our runaways.

plus many of us do not like the janitor or the cook
they think they know how to teach better than we do
give us suggestions even though they have never taught
we roll our eyes as new teacher thanks them for their ideas

LOL! So…you have an eye on that new teacher, her freshness, appeal… and you have your experience- I suppose both are needed! God bless you! This was great!
