Mr!. Hoppernokker will see you now…

“Come in, Son!. Sit down!.”
He spoke and spoke but none of his
seeds could take hold on the rocky crag of my wits!.
All I saw was the oar,

Not for propelling canoes, paddling kayaks
This device is ferule in nature
I’d felt its sting before
There it hung, like an old friend
…waiting!.

Why do they do this, a soft comfy couch…
like a condemned man’s last meal!.
…and then, the words…

“This is going to hurt me
a lot more than it will hurt you!.”

Ah, for the good old days !.!.!. when teachers could be cruel to the students; the students learned better then!. Now it is the students who are cruel to the teaches, and the teachers learn to not trust the students because they could be shot tomorrow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those heady days
Of corporal punishment
And poor school meals
With scanty nourishment

A question always seemed to stun!.!.!.
Now D, "Would you like another one!?"
An empty vessel as I was
An educative receptacle
Dear teacher, why just paddle!?
Why not kick my testicles!.!.!.!

Best days of our lives!.!.!.
Hmmm!.!.!.
D!.!.!.!

PS!. TD, I love the use of "ferule"!. Nice play!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

7th grade, my teacher/principle a bit clever,
The first time caught charged us postage, then told us
if we were caught again we could read them to the class
Amen! (we quit this boy and I) Mr!. Grover Short, he was a
gem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Talk about being on the same wavelength! I've always been one of those sickening goody-two-shoes!. (Where does that expression come from)!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ooops! 6th grade!? Well, maybe not then!.
You will learn not to pass notes in class the hard way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

HI,
Well at first I was going to say just to sit there and listen to what he had to say and tell him you're sorry for passing the note and ya wont do it again!. Then I read about the paddle!.!.!.are you seriously saying you're allowed to be "hit" in your school!? If so that sucks and I'd see about your legal rights!. In our schools around here that would not be tolerated in any way by any parent!. NOT! I'm talking PA

Oh!.!.!.show him your poem!.!.!.it's really cute! bigtime Never know, he may frame it and put it on his wall!. <grin>

Love and good luck!
