Teacher's Instincts Poem by Sam Pete

Teacher's Instincts

Rating: 4.8


He’s done it again
Seems like he’ll never stop

Didn't I tell him -
Shouldn’t offend
With t-shirts
Like that

'Idiot' spelt 'Idoit'
Offensive both ways
Walking sign posts
Carrying a message!

What’s that
He’s wearing now:
'For a while
I was the suspect
Curiosity killed the cat'

“Hey, inser ‘till’”

Oblivious
To the walking-message-pole
My dutiful
Error-spotting
Teacher’s instincts!

I can relate with this poem's message. I'm a teacher too. Every time I encounter arror, the urge to correct is overwhelming. Great job as usual!
