Confessions of a Relief Teacher Part III

For the oft-absent student
He is an uncommon animal:
Hardly spotted, but when seen,
the moment is fleeting and brief.

For the permanently stoned, glaze-eyed one
Wilted rose languishing in the corner -
Turn not your back on the sun!
Your errant head in symbiosis with
the snug surface of your desk -
for from thence your life-blood flows.

The 'I-wanna-be-a-Bimbo!' individual
Empty vessels maketh the moste noiseth.
But whenth the vessel isth nowte empty
byut still insistes it maketh some noiseth
then it is moste curious and strangeth.
...And when the giggling vessel claimth it needth HELP
for it knoweth not ANYTHING AT ALL
for it is HOPELESS...
then it is moste irkesome and galling.

But apart from some bizzare individuals, teaching in ACJC was quite fun and rewarding.

Oh yes, I got my hostel room!!!! Time to buy a mini fridge!
