Shhh

A school librarian demanding quiet
Has her loud kids on a rum cake diet
With the wild ones sedated
She's at peace and elated
Now all teachers are eager to try it.

The librarian's punishment is long overdue! Any other teacher should shelf the idea. Robert

I'll bet they are. That's very clever of the school librarian. I think of many pranks we played on Ms. Greiner. The worst was rubbing garlic all over her desk. It about drove her insane. Of course, we knew nothing and the stench didn't bother us.

Sometime I'll write about the time Dolly (Ms Greiner) took me to the principal's office. She turned right to go into his office and I kept going straight...out to the school bus and went home. Worried all weekend about what would happen Monday morning. Interest peaked????
