Rewarding bad behaviors
to me is certifiable,
however, that some school
theories are leaning
this way is pretty undeniable.
The ones who act the most horrible
are being rewarded hourly, and
winning fantastic prizes galore.
The ones who yell and scream and
act ridiculous are forcing frustrated
teachers out the door.
Today's incorrigibles are
the ones who yesteryear were
not the ones who were winning.
Yet, these days, in these great times,
these darlings are spinning,
in the hallways, on the roof,
and we are supposed to be just grinning.
Deplorable environment now, we have many
good teachers leaving schools.
Out-of-control children and their sue-happy
families are winning.
Are we a bunch of fools?
A Sexist Crime
We would call all of this a sexist crime;
A woman for President is not the time;
Republicans decided,
And females derided;
Were immature and not met their prime.
They could be called incorrigibles who voted
Trump into power. They may constitute a
vote but who really wants them? They are
only needed so you can be voted into office.
After that, they are just victims of circumstances.
Some Trump weird cheering crowd they seem to
be.
