Pistol Packing Pedagogue

When you walk into my classroom
Man, you'd better be prepared.
If your poodle ate your homework,
You might be a little scared.

'Cause I'm a pistol packing pedagogue.
My Colt is on my hip 
And my trigger finger's itchy
So it's time to get a grip.

Better not be disrespectful 
And forget it if you cheat.
No one messes with my lessons
'Cause I pack a little heat.

Yes, I'm a pistol packing pedagogue.
But do not be alarmed.
See they're paying me a bonus
If, inside my class, I'm armed.

It's a crazy world we live in
But I thank the NRA
And our president, for making me
What I've become today.

That's a pistol packing pedagogue.
You shouldn't be too shocked 
For at least my gun, like this idea,
Is less than halfway cocked!

Haha! Is this fiction or are you a teacher? No matter, if I were a teacher I would refuse to carry a gun in class. It's ridiculous! Must be honest about this. / M

Great write! I couldn't believe he even suggested that. I guess it's obvious who the NRA has in their back pocket. Let's just go back the old west days! 80(

Cool title and way you used it in the poem, Ilene. OUr world is so crazy. Only in America too, can people buy weapons so easily without their mental state even checked!!!

thanks, andrea! yes, our country is very backward when it comes to weapons. i just can't see it changing, either (but i hope i'm wrong on that...)

Words to ponder well, ilene. In the mind and experience of this former teacher, there are co-workers (that I knew when I was a teacher) whom I would not trust with a gun in their possession around youth. Then there were ones like me whose hand shook like a leaf the first time I spanked a child. Like you said that idea is half-cocked. Love your title

thank you, reason! i wouldn't trust myself with a gun, either! by the way, the title came first (not my usual style) and after that, the poem just kind of flowed...
