Shameless Flattery and Groveling
About this article
If you have ever had a student turn in a late assignment and plead for leniency, you will enjoy this poem from a student!
I must be a magician
with talent enough to spare . . .
Yes! That would explain how it is I can
make assignments disappear . . into thin air.
I think my mind is plagued
with such topics as . . Nuclear War.
I simply cannot devote my time
to silly Workbooks and Religious lore.
But you dear teacher (O wondrous one)
with the countenance of a saint,
showed me the err of my ways . . .
Now? Forgetful I ain’t!
Thank you, you’re a goddess.
Bless you, you’re a peach.
Thank you, I’m not worthy
to even kiss your feet.
THANK YOU!
