163 Dragonflies and teachers

the dragonfly is trapped in class,
he can’t fly through the windows glass.

he makes a wild,scary noise
exciting all the girls and boys.

if i could find the words to say
to jolt my students in a similar way,

i would no longer have to teach,
just write my gospel and start to preach.

it’s a commentary, sad but true:
what a teacher can’t –
a bug can do.
