S P I T On T H I S Crack – down went the teacher’s chair. Snicker – the children hide their laughs. “SHHHHHHHHH” – says our teacher clear. Getting up and straightening her dress. “A rowdy lot are all of you!” This from our English teacher, too! “Everyone stand up and..” SPLAT Straight into her eye it went. The children stare like a cornered cat From which direction was it sent?! The teacher looks into the back of the room. “Doc, was this disturbance caused by you?” But, before another word can be said. Before punishment can be doled. Another round whizzes by her head. She turns toward the classroom cold. Each child, like a painting sits. Quietly studying their arithmetic. Slowly she strides toward the front of the room. Scanning each “innocent” face as she goes. She picks up the chalk to try to resume, Striking a most professional pose. “Back to our lesson for to…,” SMACK! The blackboards littered in dots. She spins around to face the class. But, each student’s face is covered in spots. “Ewww!” Endless shouts wiping her face. “You’ll pay for that Pete!” she screams in a rage. The teacher is now getting fumed. This classroom is out of control! She walks toward Pete, but he’s suddenly consumed, Bombarded with all kinds of paper ammo. “Endless!” she shouts, to contain the revenge. But, endless is gone; hidden under her desk. Every child is now out of their seat. Running about in attack or retreat. “Forget it,” the teacher finally exclaims. From out of her desk she pulls a bazooka-sized tube. She chews, fills, smiles and aims, with an, “I’ll teach these kids a thing or two.” Suddenly it’s hailing about them A downpour of oversized super spitballs Unable to tell where it’s all coming from They try to escape out into the halls. But, alas, when they reach the door, it is locked. They all, silent now, turn toward their teacher, quite shocked. There she stands, in the front of the room. Surrounded by shredded up evidence of doom. Her face expressionless. Her demeanor quite calm. She walks to the desk and puts the shooter down. “Well,” she says, containing a smirk. “Let’s clean up this mess, and get back to work.” To Doc - from one of your minions!"I do hope this pays my dues, Oh Favorable Royal.. King.. Majesty.. Magnificent Moose (or something like that).(she curtsies to the throne) "Sorry I have no time to go back and check" |

Endlessecho, Imaginative and highly entertaining, your sound effects (onomatopoeia) have greatly pleased his Highness. A boon to you for your offering, perhaps a cabinet seat in the royal court? Doc |

Endlessecho, I say it is so, so shall it be! He ducks and runs, but not so swift we're having fun, a precious gift adorns one spire of royal crown, a spit-wad made of paper brown. Doc |

Geez, I remember that class But I still claim it was that ne'er-do-well, Doc, who put the thumbtack in the teacher's chair, or was that the mouse in her desk drawer? |

Endlessecho," Appointee to the Royal Cabinet", It appears we may have a bit of insubordination on our hands, allow me... While some might be amused, I stand falsely accused, 'twas not me with that mouse or that tack. It displeases the throne that for reasons unknown it appears I've been stabbed in the back! Have a care "Poet Not", sounds a treasonous plot, when 'tis spit-balls we're all 'sposed to blow. "Phfft" and 'THWAP!", in your ear. My advisor, I fear, for such acts, I may have to let go! Your befuddled ruler, "Moose the Magnificent,Supreme Ruler of all He Surveys, Master of Mastication and Professor of Projectiles" I say it is so, so shall it be! Patooie! |

I stand corrected, Mighty Moose; My errant pen, alas, ran loose. 'Twas I, instead, who placed that tack That poked the teacher in the back... Side, that is. |

Here lies danger, my advisor, how I wish the Throne were wiser, Miss behavin' just might prove a real threat. Let me think, as spit-balls pelt her, could she join us , helter-skelter, with a "Proing" or "Plunk" or "Plop" I'd say "you bet!" Your Befuddled Ruler, Yada Yada Yada . |

Ronald R. Merrell....the journalism teacher who found me sulking because my English teacher had given me an "F" for writing a Sestina instead of a five paragraph theme, and gave me a poetry column in the school newspaper, to ensure that I'd keep writing.... ....had a desk drawer full of little rubber bands, and when things got dull or tense he'd start a rubber band fight. Loved that guy and still do...and you just took me back to visit him. Not a very helpful critique, but I don't care...... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ [This message has been edited by Ratleader (09-11-2004 10:36 AM).] |

I remember those spit wads well. Algebra 1. It sure helped the class go a bit faster. Poor teacher, though. He really was a good guy and not a half bad teacher. It was his first and last year! Enjoyed. miscellanea |
