Teacher In Dreamland
TEACHER IN DREAMLAND
Step outside in January and it’s not 30 degrees below
Metro to school is on time and uncrowded
All kids in class behave well and want to learn
Sun shines in window but not too hot
Xerox machine works without breaking down
Textbooks are clearly written and crap-free
Principal helps with organization and timetabling
Coffee machine produces liquid resembling coffee
Guy in the newspaper shop responds when I say good evening
Elevator works at all floors in the apartment building
Television shows are interesting and uninterrupted by silly ads
Midnight doesn’t come too quickly and there is time
To read a little and chat with my wife who is not working late
End of a perfect day. . . . . . in dreamland.
