Teachers once told me to use my head
and now I understand


Poem Artwork

I said to the teacher
I am a poor creature
my pens run out of ink.

I’m counting up my sums
with my fingers and thumbs
tell me what do you think ?

How can I write like them
with no pencil or pen,
all the things in my head .

i’d better just stay home
with the thoughts that I own
fast asleep there in bed .

 Reviews of "Using My Head"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on March 11, 2026
This article seems misplaced in the Poems section but it is very good. I think that preschoolers get an opportunity to express themselves. But first, they have to have symbols, like learning letters and numbers, so that they can express in writing.

And, they need to know how to use the various colors and tools to do art in its many forms. It wasn't until I got to college before I picked up some of the communicating skills that I have. We all develop at different rates. Unfortunately, school tends to have time for only one size fits all.

I really loved your reference to some great thinkers, and especially, Pink Floyd.

Ron
