Provoking her is not easy to do She’s been teaching children since fifty-two Spanking was the norm back in the day I still like to use it she will often say Alas times have changed, children now play Wasting their time each and every other day Ridiculous she said when she finally retired Just months before she may have been fired....

They're smiling leniently don’t be silly You can’t be apolitical these days I’m smiling back I don’t trust them initially, It doesn’t fall under a criminal offence I’m fascinated by the incongruous lines Just look at those familiar shapes, distorted The early cubist paintings make them shine Not blindingly, but just how you would want it Ambiguous light of green and brown...

Oi Oi Hoi Polloi
All aboard the bizarre Farage barge.. Unless of course you are from abroad.. . Narcissist catalyst.. old school fraud..discord twist.. Can't resist.. staging the raging red mist.. Fist of Mob rule tryst does persist.. Depraved raves..insist..craved faves.. Won't save slaves & knaves.. Hellbent they are sent.. To graves under the waves… Foolish votes for ghoulish gloats.. Seedier media leaders lying.. Defying the dying.. Folks...

Old School Miracle Man 3/8/2025 High Tech is impeding my remaining old school, though sometime late in life I made this conscious choice. That even though some saw me as just some old fool, That throughout my lifetime my opinions I’d voice. There are many things that i can no longer do, but i can accomplish much that some others can't. I'll remain old...

Y this
You better believe what your bringing Cause I'm cracking out these lyrics and leaving your ears ringing I'm like the angels that sing on high See all of humanity and ask why Cause I'll give you a reason to believe Bring all hope and let all this doubt just leave I'm relieved to see that your carrying your weight now So...

Katrina
Katrina We spent a lifetime apart, But I knew right from the second start, That you have an important piece of me. Like a blast from the past, I smiled and you laughed. I wasn’t expecting that we’d ever meet. I smoked your memory away. Thought I’d gone for the grave, But then you recognized. I saw it in your eyes, No word of a lie, It...

Old-school songs
Chandelier whispers through glasses, Musical notes because of sea shore's air. Saying all the swears isn't kept as promises, No one cares if the decisions were fair! Awake at night and sleeping at noon, In waiting for a broken star falling like me. I wish I could stare at you like my moon, I bet, still a poet is living in me! It's...

Old School Vs Youngblood
Old school is no longer appreciated, been made redundant, is anticipated. Youngblood’s heart is always on fire, he wishes that old school, would soon retire. Youngblood expects to be a leader, to take the position he’s all eager. Old school's retirement, is not yet expected, for all his achievements, he is highly respected. Young blood is anxiously waiting his turn, old schools...

Premium Member We Are Going Old School
Forget the 504’s. Forget the IEP’s. We are going old-school. Everyone treated the same. No matter what. They will be given the same task. Many will not have a chance in the middle of a toothpick of completing it. But we do not want to change our ways or alter our lesson plans....

In K-5, K-8 or K-12 is drained the curiosity from eager brains Then off to college most folks go where Truth is disseminated from Moscow A nursing home's a spruced-up jail from which residents would love to bail ... In between, we're on...

Old School
Off to school in morning dark, Passing through the village park. Caught the light at Hill and Main. Crossed the tracks before the train. Past the houses and the stores, Up the hill and through the doors. Sat in silence, row by row, Watched the clock tick, slow by slow. Heard the bell ring in the hall, What I learned I can’t recall. Made my...

Premium Member Old School Teachers Get Voted Down
We old school teachers got voted down with a shout We wanted school uniforms to continue you see. The young teachers know everything, they voted them out. Misbehaviors are as rampant as they could ever be! Why can’t they show their belly buttons? A young teacher asked. I show mine and my lovely bra straps and my thong too. This leader...

The tiny old school, which was my first guide, has become a museum of a distant age. The playground--swings, bars, and slide, still stand in mute dismemberment stage. A fence around, a ticket to buy, purchasing memories packed away. Days so distant, unseen if you try; Sharpened pencil scent, recalled today. Inside, Grade One, up the stairs, Grade Two. How can it now all...

Premium Member The Old School House
In our leisurely drive across the country one of our delights was an old school house in Nebraska…where we were blessed to spend the night. We were already in the middle of nowhere….when ‘turn here’ our GPS crowed… and took us another 4 miles down a one lane gravel road. The renovated school house was secluded…there was no one...
