Help I lost my mind again

Help I lost my mind again
 

Oh my I must of nodded off again

The kids seem so amazed
But I do not know why
For here I am busy grading papers
With glazed eyes from reading the same answer so many times
but what has happen
I must have lost my mind
Where did I have it last...
Oh wait there it is
Once again someone borrowed it to pick my mind
But my how dirty it has gotten
laying in the corner all full of dust
As the students leave saying
"Thanks Teach"
"We had a good lesson and soccer match"
No wonder I got a headache....

A Teacher for All Seasons

A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.

A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.

A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.

A teacher is like Winter,
While it�s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.

Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You�re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!

Of all the things I �ve lost, I miss my mind the most.

My work, an opium unique, has got my mind quite reeling quick.

Nobel Prize -winner Francois Mauriac felt work as a source of bliss and called it  an opium unique
 
For Chanel work has always been a kind of drug...
