Had a quest for knowledge
Then became drunk
Left in a funk
Now stuck in life's follage!...

Elementary Grades
By Franklin Price
5/3/2016

Elementary grades took  long to come
Could not wait to get me some
Five other siblings went before
So I knew a little of the score

Was not supposed to talk all day
Recess the time to yell and play
Grades were “E” and “S” and “U”
The...

Sex and Grades

Teachers in my time 
taught math, and science and history. 
We never cared if they were single, 
or married or divorced. 
It never even crossed our minds to ask... 
if they were dating, 
as that was too personal
on every level. 

We just wanted...

Grades merely quantify your hard work
Don't let them clarify your future
Scoring low grades don't count
It's not the end of the world.

Education is an enlightening experience
Dream what are you be and good at
Collaboration is vital for success
Study for knowledge but, not for grades

I'm not saying; you...

Peas can be green, yellow or black
  Often sweet, never sour

You can eat them at virtually any hour
  Yet when finished, who is ever satisfied...

It’s May 18th, 2022. I’m poised, alone, heart pounding, in front of my laptop, waiting for courage, my finger hovering over the return key, like a child hoping the timing of my keystroke will bring me luck.

I took this summer off - which drove my...

I woke up today and gave my life a reflection 
The problem, the sorrows
The failure that follows 
Each day feeling my hopes are empty 
Feeling ashamed and guilty 
When I see my results crumpled and dirty

My grades never had A's
Like it had been immune with...

The students in my classrooms were deeper than the rest!
They yearned for knowledge only, and I, their prof, felt blessed.
This was my giddy thought
when my first class I taught…
until I heard the ditty: "Will this be on the test?”...

It gloomed in the room
Just when my thoughts bloomed
I felt a blowing air
In seemed so near 
I was ready to err
But it was not fair
It was so great 
But not as my grade
Then i smile 
Seen from a mile
Though it was mild
But not be wild...

I had lunch with Randy, between classes today. It was a perfect day. The sky was an infinite, capri blue, the wind was stirring the environment, clouds were wispy and on high - in the fast lane where they could rush along - and birds...

there were those who 'also ran.'
Not for them the highest grades,
not for them great accolades.
Mediocrity rarely shatter.
That they ran is what most matters....
