TODAY\u2019S LESSON
\n\u201cI don\u2019t care if your dad\u2019s out of work
\nOr state budgets are going berserk:
\nI\u2019m a privileged creature,
\nA public school teacher,
\nAn incompetent, overpaid jerk.\u201d<\/p>\n

NEA ENNUI
\n“We ignore those impossible pests
\nAnd their parents’ complaints and requests:
\nAs a matter of prudence,
\nWe disregard students
\nAnd focus on feathering our nests.”
\n(2000)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s verse:<\/em><\/p>\n

‘S MOTHER
\nOh, thank goodness the government\u2019s there
\nTo precaution and make me beware:
\nI\u2019m now starving to death,
\nBlue from holding my breath,
\n\u2018Cause I\u2019m frightened of food and of air.<\/p>\n
