Teacher Stamp

For all the teachers that grace DA.

Teacher. Teacher! Let me be.
I just can’t spell
Em-path-ie.
And I’ve got detention
At half-past-three.
Oh Teacher! Teacher! Let me be!

Teacher. Teacher! Let me be.
I do not know
Two thirds of three.
And Jim just threw a pen
At poor Emily.
Teacher! Teacher! It wasn’t me!

Teacher. Teacher! Let me be.
Yes, I know you are my
Head of D.
I’ve got marking to do, after teaching 8C.
And I’ve got that meeting, about P.S.E.

And I know I have reports to write
I was just dealing with that year 10 fight.
And I know I must reply to the head
But Miss Day just rang me to do with Fred.
And I know I must ring back his mum
But earlier I sat in chewing gum.
And I know I must fill in that form
I was just doing some filing for Mr Gorm.
No, my duty’s Tuesday at the gate
Yes, that’s my list of lates.
The printer? It’s run out of ink…
Sod this – it’s Friday, I’m going for a drink.
