Brain Freeze

Tater tot day ruined
by collective stupidity
because teachers are
nothing more than
glorified students
incapable of
following simple
instructions.

Staff meetings are
the brain freeze
far worse than
rapid ice cream
ingestion.

Recapturing
the high school
experience,
that's for sure.

Author's Note

Not my best.

God, I can sympathize with that sentiment.

Those that can't do teach... I thought that applied to a lot of my teachers... Very funny piece.

:) Not your worst. Makes a helluva point about the mundane bullshit that comes with any job. And, the feeling that you're like a kid being scolded and told to get back in line. it's good.

having been a preschool/K teacher for 8 years I understand these lines intimately~the shenannigans simply take on different forms as the years spin by~ gads you took me back to the useless staff meetings where the teachers bitched and the assistant teachers bitched about the teachers bitching and all anyone wAs into was the free dinner and who ordered the damn doritos~ sad state of affairs but you deliver it with dry humor that sticks to the walls of life~
there are exceptions~ =)~ but the point I see is this~we are all human~ a moniker before the name or after it (dr. phd. etc.) are simply letters denoting a profession and respect must be earned through living not through a degree~
