							| Help I lost my mind again

							| Oh my I must of nodded off againThe 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....   me   
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!
