“The very best of students!”
or so I tell my dad
I trade “A” grades for presents
my parents are so glad
to purr: “our lovely daughter
an angel, no mistake!”
but I’m a master-forger
my grades are just a fake!
but now it’s parents’ evening
my teachers are all here
it’s time that I was leaving
it’s time to disappear!

I’ve just returned from a parents’ evening and wrote this inbetween appointments.
The English teacher in me cries out for a little punctuation here
You might like to review your recent comment, Miss English Teacher…….
hey hey
i remember you writing this- i really liked this one.
and i cant believe a person of your high standards getting off task at a parents evening and writing poems for your website i thought that is what we get in trouble for!!!
Naughty Mr Hughes!!!!
i like this one and i cant believe how quick you thought of it!!!!
but i must agree with Chanel here!!
Tsk! I told you, I was writing it between two appointments! There was a gap between about 5.45 and 6.05pm and I wrote it then!
You know this because you came with coffee and saw me finishing it off!
