A harriet jet took off like a wriggly lip all limp and bending... <br />That substitute teacher did have a hairy lip that made her look oh so condescending. <br /> <br />Her purple hair set off those demon like fiery eyes.... <br />She would bring to the class-room her Polaroid camera that served as her parental'ed counter-spies. <br /> <br />It was real hard to get away with anything or to get anything by her... <br />She had a real bad temper that seemed hotter than a blazing fire. <br /> <br />She, my substitute teacher, could make us kids-all, seem as like the highest and biggest liar... <br />She could turn us all into the biggest type cry-er. <br /> <br />Teachers? Go figure? ... <br />For them you need to go buy a dog to say 'Sic her! ' <br /> <br />Roof! Roof! Roof! ... <br />Pant! Pant! Pant! <br /> <br />Dog gone it! ... <br />Begone it!<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-harriett-jet-took-off-the-lips-of-time/
