Stellar Ms Ella

"That's not my elephant!" You could hear her say, As quickly she ran, caught on film, heading this way. The 2nd graders all laughed as they watched the movie, Many of them thought it was really "Groovee." For this was a film shot of their teacher Ms. Ella, Whose performance in it was anything but stellar. She was running for her life as the big bull feigned his charge, The one she was supposed to ride wasn't nearly that large. But it made for a good chuckle when she showed her class The home movie of her trip to India's Kyber Pass. Soon it was lunchtime...the cafeteria line was fun As they laughed about how fast their teacher could run. Spaghetti was on the bill of fare Passing it up...one wouldn't dare. Because they would need all their energy tonight They had a test coming on the Bill of Rights. Ms. Ella was a good teacher and her kids liked her a lot But her tests were difficult as if she had some plot. She would send them home with work to do, But they learned from her film, not everything is work too.

What a cute story is behind your poem, Daniel! Somehow you made sense of a "nonsense" mandate. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. And have a very Merry Christmas. Love, Carolyn
