you have penned a most witty piece of poetry here, making the most of your profession as an English teacher ... This poem may have been written merely for fun or sudden inspiration, but if it was penned out of a real life relationship that is lacking in fair treatment for you, then, whomever it is directed towards, I doubt they get the message as your satirical use of words that relate to English and proper typing will likely zoom right over her head with her mouth agape ... Love it! ...
