She Was Reluctant To Take the Ged
She did not know she was smart
That had been drummed out of her
By her parents and now Mr. Wonderful
He came in to take the GED test
I was the teacher
His scores were horrible
I had encouraged her to take the test too
She had been reluctant
But he had coaxed her, in a teasing way as if he thought she was dumb
She outperformed him by leaps and bounds.
I told her she could take the real GED test
But he would have to come back and take classes
She gave me a sad look as they left
I never knew if she was to be beaten
But they never returned
