Poems
Mar 2018
****** in School
You’re teaching a class
And in someone barges.
You want to protect
Both yourself and your charges.
So what do you do?
Grab your bucket of stones
And soon the intruder’s
A bucket of bones.
Your students can help
If they each grab a rock,
Assuming they aren’t
Immobile with shock.
Just think how effective
Such tactics can be!
We all can join in
On a stone-throwing spree!
Of course, if the trespasser’s
Wielding a gun,
The pupils (and you)
Might be tempted to run.
For certainly studies
(Most likely) have shown
A bullet’s more lethal
Than any thrown-stone.
And let’s not forget
There’s a lot here at stake.
An innocent guest
Could be ****** by mistake.
This foolish idea
A school district condoned.
Makes me wonder if they
Were in other ways ******.
