Cause and Effect -- a poem


CAUSE AND EFFECT

Someone stole
my teacher.
They took my
favorite one.

She helped me 
patiently,
she was cheerful
and great fun.

She's replaced 
by a big
meany who is
giving me more work.

Do you think
this could have happened
'cause the class just went
berserk?

    I have been enjoying your daily poems and admire your public challenges to grow.
    This poem spoke loudly - how we all know those days.
    Thank you - it will help us through.

    Sorry you're such a 'meany', but guess the students will live to see another day.
