NPM - Poem 15 - Too Sweet

Too Sweet

"I brought you candy,"
the boy did say.

What a dandy,
the teacher's brain did proclaim.

"You came here to help us,"
the student did explain.

"You're welcome,"
the teacher responded, sharing her candy some.

One, two, three...ten.
Their brains they do lend
To readying themselves
To handshake,
To speak,
To respond.
To sit.

Oh.  What. A. Relief. That. Will. Be. 

On this day, though,
Four bags of candy they do borrow,
To feed their brains
To work without complaint.

For on the morrow,
Using thoughts borrowed,
They handshake.
They speak.
They respond.
They sit.

Oh.  What. A .  Relief.  That. Will. Be.
