Teacher's Pet

Stacy Applebean, every teacher's pet
Without a doubt, straight A's she'd always get
  Hated and unpopular
  Her yearbook summarized her
'Rotten Apple,' her lasting sobriquet

Kind of like Donald Trump, eh? Think anyone will show up to his funeral? --Somber thought...

And by being teachers"s favorite I must say," An Applebean a day keeps classmates away." Wonderful limerick!

Almost named her Joanna Appleseed, but ---nah!

Apple core - Baltimore - who's your friend? She's probably the president of the Apple Growers! Nice work, Gershon - very fun!

OK...

She'll have the last laugh when she becomes the managing director of Apple, ( groan).

Very good, Tom. Maybe you should try a limerick or two. lol... Looking forward to your next batch, chef!

I bet she was the apple of her teacher's eye!

Either the apple of her teacher's eye -- or a can of worms!
