Day 56:
THE TEACHER CAME TO OUR SCHOOL
The Teacher was coming to our school.
We all had our say:
He will teach Industrial Arts
for He was a carpenter;
He will teach English
for He taught in parables;
He will teach Special Education
for He was always on the side of the underdog;
He will teach Science and Math
for He is the Master of the laws of nature;
He will teach in Arts
for He is the Lord of the Dance;
He will teach Family Studies
for He is the host of the Heavenly Banquet;
He will teach Modern Languages
for He understands every tongue;
He will teach Business
for His justice is sorely needed;
He will teach Phys Ed
for He has unbounded strength;
He will teach Geography and History
for He has traveled every land and lived all of time;
He will teach Law
for He confounded the Scribes and the Pharisees;
He will teach Guidance
for He is the Light of the World;
He will be a Secretary
for He knows all our words;
He will be a Custodian
because He came to serve;
He will be an Administrator
for He is the Master Teacher.
At last the Dean of Religion knowingly said,
"He undoubtedly will be in our department,
for what greater vocation can there be than to
teach love?"
But on the day the Teacher came,
He came to sit in a chair facing the board, late,
chewing gum and out of uniform.
