Pour the Wine, Hold the Cheese

FYI Teachers enjoy writing exams every bit as much as students enjoy taking them

Should I ask this question on the test?

Is it something they should know?

Will omitting it destroy their lives?

My Merlot tells me no! (and the Mister, he never lies)

 

They might not ever need this, sigh…

Might be a waste of time

It might be just as pointless

As nonalcoholic wine. (perish the thought!)

 

I guess I must get to it now

It’s almost 1:00 am

I need another glass of wine

Oh damn! Where is my pen?

It's really a great innovation.An experienced science teacher has taken a lovely way to remind the chemistry of a common chemical that comprises a part of life for too many people around the world.The poets who feared chemistry in their school days will get new strength to guide their children and grand children about the basics of chemistry.
Thank you Mary for revealing the secret of making question of taking tests.This will invariably help the teachers.
As information technology has developed much,I take the opportunity to share the link of Wikipedia of Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol or drinking alcohol to enlighten the poets who still have curiosity of things.

You lost your pen for a reason...they will never need that...never...
Or will they...?

[Mary]

probably not. I think much of what we "learn" isexercise for the brain- makes the learning of new, more useful material easier.

You're right...I once taught...
