Will be late if you write a long one
must shut my computer, throw in the sponge
lessons must begin on time
rush away, teach with no rhyme

"teacher, why were you late"...students exclaim
"I had an important date"...teacher replies,
"not to abstain."
"I'll be your truant scout
had to get my morning quota out"!

Hey Nan,

Most of my language kids all know of passions now, a place where they can read different writing styles and more

Hey Marsha,

Sometimes I can't get over my own wit in a way. Glad I have it and can put it into productive use

Martin - Why not?  What is good for the goose is good for the gander.  Just because you are the teacher, doesn't mean you should be above the rules.  We must set an example for our youth.lol  Lord knows I am a poor example, so we are counting on you.lol
