Short Better Safe Than Sorry Poems

Better safe than sorry, some claim it to be.
This gilded cage that can deceive.

Safe the bird held within, whom may never
spread it's wings or sail in the wind.

A potential so great may never be known.
A life surrendered, for safety is unknown....

Close the city! Stop the cars!
Folks should stay inside
While the police determine where
The bomber chose to hide.

Is what’s said while he is sought,
But patience must be wearing thin
Until this guy is caught....

I have:
my lesson plan book,
a pretty business suit,
2 pens and a pencil,
a cup of coffee in hand,
Welcome Back to school letters,
a dry erase marker,
a pair of slippers (in case the heels hurt),
a pack of Tylenol (better safe than sorry)
and a heart full of standards that will not be lowered!

It is time to teach!!...
