I tried to write a poem
Me trying to write a teacher appreciation poem is really a nightmare. I’m about as good at poetry as OJ Simpson is good at anger management. (Don’t be offended, people. It’s a joke.) But it really is the thought that counts. So Mr. Wilkes, my favorite teacher from the fifth grade, please remember that:
*****
Roses are red
I heard violets are not really violet
I hear people dig poems
So I thought I would try it.
Even though this poem
actually kind of sucks.
I want you to know
you’re worth a million bucks.
