At school, I'm like your second mom,
A nanny when you need a hand.
From Monday morning until Friday
I'll always defend your safety.
In a classroom filled with many of your peers,
Each with unique personalities and ways to steer,
I teach all of you throughout the day,
Helping you to learn, study, and play.
But it seems my teaching is not enough,
As many of you talk too much and make it tough.
The room is filled with different voices,
Talking nonsense and making poor choices.
I enforce strict discipline in the class,
So that each one of you can pass.
But when I simply scold you for misbehaving,
It upsets your parents and gets them raving.
Dear learners, do not be upset,
My corrections are made with love, I bet.
Just like my own son Kiefer,
All of you are so very dear.
To the parents, your child is dear like mine,
Together, let's help them truly shine,
With good behavior and quality education,
We'll ensure their success and future foundation.
T - eaching you will always be
O - ne of the best experiences for me
M - emories I'll always keep
Y - ou're like my children I love so deep
L - essons, I wish you keep in hearts
E - very sermon, every spank that hurts
A - pain for me too if you but know
R - emember always that you must grow
N - ever give up, you'll make it through
E - ventually, though we may part
R - emember you'll always be in my heart
S - eeing you succeed shall be my delight
Why do some of us
Live longer than others
Why do we outlive
Our younger sisters and brothers
Did they die younger
As they had wiser brains
And us old codgers
Needed to remain
This puzzles me
And causes me concern
Maybe we live longer
As we still have much to learn
a good teacher is nectar to learners
they sip honey from his brain in freedom
and construct knowledge, skills and values
a good teacher is nectar to learners
the slow ones find good time to explore
and select petals to obtain mode for self-reliance
a good teacher is nectar to learners
fast learners peck hidden stigmas of creativity
and build special talents to transform the world
a good teacher is nectar to learners
individual learner scrambles for his colorful petals
to build dignity, self-esteem and self-actualization
a good nectar is nectar to learners
every learner mixes pollen grains and ovules
and cross pollinates the ovules of potentials within
the good teacher is as rare as a four-teat goat
but those who can teach congest streets of learning
