Manifesto for the Midterms
Mere pontificating will not win my trust.
Words with no fair justice fade away to dust.
If greed and ambition are part of what you teach,
move on to another. I’m far beyond your reach.
But if you seek a balance and fairness for posterity,
rightness for the earth and a sharing of prosperity.
If you do not seek to govern by appealing to false fear,
then climb up on your bandbox. I’ll give your words an ear.

Ha.. My sister saved her students’ malapropisms…hilarious. It has been so long since I taught that I don’t remember those of any of my students.
