Teacher's Know Best

Think think!!!! Think aloud she say's while walking with a ruler tapping each of us on the head apples on our desk Kids playing dead Laying our faces on our desk passing notes with my friend ted But along in the window came a beautiful hummingbird a strange event nonetheless an event which had never occurred as my imagination wandered teacher to me , became dead silence feeled the room I was at peace in my head Then a tap on my shoulder and an awkward stare from ted My teacher stood over me asking what in class was said Not trying to lie or deny it I simply said OK!!! But to be honest I cant really think right now At my head you've been tapping all day, See I seemed to have suffered some memory loss and for this I have you to blame!!!! All these questions, you put in my face are running to fast ,to fast to take because my head, is in so much pain I think I will go to the office today My teacher said "NO!!! with that walk NO way"!!! you just put your head down, and take an A for today My teacher looked nervous as she walked away thinking to herself worried "I might get fired today" But in my little head it was clear as day I got her off my back That's how I got all A's : )

So many times, my mind would drift from the classroom to fantasize (and even write poetry) while sitting at my desk. Teachers who walked with tapping sticks never received much respect. And I LOVE the humorous twist at the end. (So that's how folks get straight As...OK, wish I could go back and do it over keeping this in mind.) Delightful read! Love, Carolyn
