rhyme spill (definitely better than an oil spill) - an advertisement for teachers

school is out, but fresh in thought.
you're making sense of all you taught
and in your mind, you come across
some topics where you fear the loss

of little minds you vowed to teach -
strategies that just didn't reach
the goals you'd set (and some you'd not)
for that which you're supposed'have taught,

and now you think about next year
and how to make it that more clear
to little minds with which you're charged
to bring about their brain enlargement.

well, dear teachers (those who're still
reading this, my rhyming spill -
you obviously understand
the power of the rhyming stan...za.)

and so i offer, this, my skill
the power of the rhyming spill
to fortify your teaching tools
in places where you left them fools.

you tell me, teacher dearest do
and i will up and rhyme for you.
what do you want your kids to know?
rhymes can help their minds get goin'

email alison dot bal
dwin at gmail dot com and i'll
be happy to spill rhymes for you
exactly how you want me to.
to target what your kids will need
to get them where you're trying to lead them.

or message me on here, whatever.
i'd just like to rhyme forever.

stupid human tricks

how is it that we, as a species and as individuals, continue to do things that we know are bad for us? things that we don't want to do, even? how is that we cannot even manage ourselves? or do what we know that we want?
