Guilt Trip

by ~*~MoNiQuE~*~   Nov 20, 2005


You helped us through the tragedy,
When our lives were going so wrong;
Youve always had a strategy,
To make even worse enemies get along.

You have always exaggerated the latest rumour,
And were forever sussing out the hottest pair.
You are a man with the best sense of humour,
And a knack for loosing thats extremely rare.

You let us get away with a hell of a lot,
From wagging to swearing and all the in-betweens,
Maybe your memory is failing and you just forgot,
Arent we lucky teachers cant pass on their genes.

You showed us that there is wisdom in youth,
That as you grow old life still has an aim,
And that theres no better defence than the truth,
Except the secret of your other dame!

No other helped us make such important decisions,
It was you, who put the fight in every one of us,
Our future now is a clearer vision,
But it looked grim when you decided to drive that bus.

Who knows your age, its all the same when youre old,
You survived the big bang and the First World War,
With courage and strength like a soldier bold,
But now those hips and knees are just too damn sore!

To us you are more than just a teacher,
Youre a mentor, a friend and an inspiration,
If you�d only stay, you could be our main feature,
Damn are you going to miss our graduation!

So lets not cry because it ended,
But it happened, so lets smile instead,
Leaving us half way through, we are offended,
But youve already prepared us for whats ahead!

Weve said what weve needed to say,
Weve done what we needed to do,
So now whatever happens to us,
I guess we will leave it up to you.

    Try not using conjunctions -- it is real good, but would roll off the time better if you were consistent with the amount of syllables in each line -- good job -- consider entering the artistic poetry contest on the discussion board
