What They're Furries!!!!!!! Kids identify that they are pets Do they sleep in fur lined bassinets And if they get a chill Or are feeling quite ill Do doctors treat them or do vets? If one crawled in my classroom today Then needed to pee I would say “Don’t cock your leg by the door Or do your poop on the floor” I’d insist they use a litter tray I’m allergic to animal fur I'd worry if student's bark or purr MY bark's worse than my bite Furries in schools ain't right I wonder if others concur!

WTF, do you mean Jan? lol! I loved your poem, are you a teacher? The little ones would enjoy this they would hoot with laughter at a few of the words. I am so pleased that PS has helped you to soften some of the painful things in your life as it has mine. Take care of yourself, Jan, ShirleyX

Oh my gosh, this is funny Jan!! I never considered such questions, pretty perplexing! My daughter wants to be a teacher, I guess they'll teach her how to handle this sort of thing at college? Geez

They definitely have 'furries' in a couple of schools here - not seen any myself yet! hugs jan xx

Love your trademark wit, Jan, I wonder too if they go to a doctor or vet? Not sure of the 'furry' appeal myself, but hey, live and let live~

Jan Allison
Date: 5/26/2023 3:13:00 PM

The behaviour is getting beyond belief Michelle, I've not witnessed these 'furries' but I'm told they are in several schools on our island. discipline and manners have gone out the window it is so sad to see:-( hugs Jan xx
