Who Was Pink Futuristic Girl

I saw her from a distance and wondered if she was real.
Of course I am! Pink futuristic girl said, come over and feel.
Her hair looked like pop beads, there were stars in her hair.
Amazed and amused by her appearance, I decided to stare.

I do not bite she told me. I am not a deplorable Bite-A-Gram.
Then she called me something horrible, it sounded like Madame.
I wondered who had given her this look with rainbow eyes.
Was it perhaps my teacher, wearing a unique disguise?

I decided to return to school, hooky no longer on my plate.
Better hurry! Pink girl said. “You don’t want to be so late.”
Now I knew it was Mrs. McLadden, playing a trick on me.
I ran as fast as I could go, only late now by minutes three.
