Notes About The Poem

TO BEING ON BOARD     *

 

I can remember when

It was blackboards,

Which have been replaced

By their whiteboards;

Loaded with selective

Brainwashing videos:

Primarily coded to entertain

Rather than educate;

Particularly, if you’ve not chosen

Teaching as a labor of love:-

 

When asked how could I, at 83,

Teach without a whiteboard,

I simply replied that I was

A live retired living blackboard:

Programmed by God’s divine wisdom

And guidance to continue to engage

In a labor of love—teaching and sharing

Inspirational and dedicated problem-solving

Skills to the chosen future liberators:-

Loaded with selective
Brainwashing videos:

Particularly, if you’ve not chosen
Teaching as a labor of love:-

When asked how could I, at 83,
Teach without a whiteboard,

A live retired living blackboard:
Programmed by God’s divine wisdom
And guidance to continue to engage
In a labor of love—teaching and sharing
