I Saw (c)

Her today,

Red dress on,

popping her gum.

I knew it was her 

before I could see her.

I could sense evil.

"Baby,"

she called the clerk 

at the desk.

I looked at the stoney face,

and unsmiling face,

she's a disgrace.

I made my exit.

Hard to believe she had been a teacher.

No one could reach her

before she drove off her staff,

Leaving a trail of

lies and deception in her 

wake.

I just couldn't take

even being

in the same room

with her.
As Cole Porter said,
it's an ace in the hole --
"when the devil in slacks
breaks down your self control."

BULLIES

Porter--

First day--

"Welcome to school,"

As she talked with all the

Staff, no indication of

Problems.

First month,

Flew by,

Her angry words hurt her

Staff, teachers so upset

That they would confide to each othertheir pain..

And hurt.

Then the

Blistering

Outbursts began,

In hallways, staff meetings and,

Classrooms.

Respect--

Not there

For the teachers
or students

Morale declined, then fell

Off the charts, as teachers left for

New jobs.

Bullies...

So many...

Pervade and fill,

The ranks of school principals, and

Administrators in the U. S.

Bullies.

Why is

This thing 

Allowed to go

On, poisoning 

Our schools.

Porter 

Stayed for 

Two more years, then

A forced retirement sent her

Packing.

Porter,

Unkind,

Unprepared to,

Establish a quality

Educational setting

For kids.

Let down,

These kids,

Retreated and

Failed to give them a good education.

Let down

By the system

Who allowed her to stay.
Her name should be engraved
on a Wall of Shame
