used iron to be totally sure
Semi-abstracts on a grand scale
with brutal humour on sale...

Andrea was late - drove at the speed of light
Traffic cops chased her  - she got such a fright
The cop got out his book
Gave her a stern look
She’s off to traffic school so she now gets it right

SAMBA

The samba from Morro Carioca
survived for the world,
Long live Mama Africa... !

   ROCK

The rock and roll
runs wild
on the rocks...

   SPEED GONZALEZ

In Juanita's canteen
mariachis and tequila
and bursts of laughter...

WALTZ
Oh! If I danced,
Ah! If I played,
The Viennese Waltz ...!...

You Are My Special Teacher

You are my special teacher
I just want you to know
I always had fun in your class
How the time has flown!

Thank you for helping me
To learn all that I know
I will always remember you
Even when I'm grown!

I'll miss you being my teacher
I know the reason why
I am feeling very sad
Because it's time to say goodbye...

A Special Teacher
Teachers come and go
but every so often one comes along
that you'll always remember
one who makes learning an adventure...
and who can still remember
what it's like to be young
and growing up...
the kind who can make you
want to be the very best you can be...
Someone you can really talk to,
who really cares
what happens to you...

That person is YOU!

Miss Benavides (my 7th grade language arts teacher)
and 
Mr. Gonzalez (my 8th grade math teacher)...
