A Poem of Thanks to 4.1/4.4 VSS Lit Students
My goal at the end of the term
Was not only that you'll learn,
But see the beauty that literature can be,
Appreciate every line in poetry,
Read lines dramatically,
And see beyond mere words
As you capably analyzed prose.
Now as I look back
I see much more than that!
You were like literary devices,
Bringing the book to life in our classes!
Ever so willing to read
Shooting eager hands in the air
Hoping loudly that I take heed
And so it was 4.1/4.4 became a little Bonasse
When Bolo didn’t fight for Eulalie
And Ivan Morton come jus so jus so
And he fountain pen win she
What about the day the Spirit come?
Bee preach with power, the Spirit take over
Everybody was responding:
Who jumping, who singing, who clapping
Bell ringing!
Then we had Bonasse election
With stupidy Rufus,
White man Richardson and smart boy Morton
So thank you thinkers for your contribution
Narrators, actors, readers, listeners,
Bloggers, facebookers,
Sharers of articles, jokes and props
To all students who made our class memorable:
Thank you ever so much!
