The Fed-Up Teacher

The Fed-Up Middle School Teacher

How do you know when a teacher's had enough?
Watch her closely, she'll show you her stuff.

She has student desks wired with electric shock.
To correct answers, she yells, ”Luck is what you got”.

She reminds students that she knows where they live.
Fs on report cards are all that she'll give.

The room deodorizer is a can of spray Ritalin.
She threatens to extinguish kids that are piddling.

To the parents of bad students, she makes prank calls.
When the class gets rowdy, she uses voodoo dolls.

She's into acupuncture and wants to heal all the kids.
Blurts at conferences, “Tell me which one your brat is”.

She doesn't have long nails for no simple reason.
She prays for and gloats during the summer season.

But the surest sign that a teacher's had enough,
She parks in bootlegger style, has a siren on her truck

For a fast getaway! At the end of the day!!
