Beautiful pictures inspire me
From days gone with wisdom to share
For teachings of old that appeared neglected
Seemed wiser from thoughts in my head
I never was much on attention
While daydreams acted their role
The teacher would clout all the facts for us kids
While thinking for me was much bolder
I'd hear her off in the distance
Seemed she rapped with marvelous applause
In my head just as she was teaching
I'd mentor aloud just because
The class would all roar in laughter
Then bring me back to my feet
Embarrassed and red from this lesson
I was offered the floor to teach
With yardstick held over my shoulders
I'd glamorize her rule of thumb
End up with the attention of many
Then sent to the corner a Dunce
She'd catch my attention by banging her fist
Upon her oak desk with a sway
I'd offer up as a visionary
Give more information that way
I knew I'd missed what she taught me
With bowed head condesending in sorrow
Then I'd have the last word..so help me God
With ideas just for tomorrow
Afterall I was a visionary
With much wiser thinking than many
A Pisces of eager perception
A dreamer from many demensions
A kid just thinking in poetry
A blonde with freckles enmass
Smart as a whip...so help me God
Then offer "Ya can all kiss my ass".
No kiss-assing for you! Wonderful memior. Just saw Cyndi Lauper on Broadway at 52. Why did I think of you? Do you have an Ozone Park, Queens, accent? ;-)

Your the type that brings life to the classroom when a teacher forgets how to teach. Great write!
You little rebel...LOL I got my share of paddlings, too...I wasn't the nice, innocent girl you think I am. Okay, nice. LOL I had my moments, in other words!
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
