HAIKU FOR POST-BREAK TEACHERS

It's National Poetry Month.  Here are Haiku honoring the end of school break for our state.

Damn. April break is
Done.  We have to work today.
Monday: Shot to Hell.

How many more weeks
Until summer break arrives?
Ten weeks.  Far away!

People say teachers
Get vacations.  They are wrong:
We do not get paid.

So your kid needs more
Time off?  Prices better now?
Fuck you.  Get to school!

Yay! We have meetings
After teaching all damn day.
Useless waste of time.

The worst part of this:
On most days we like our jobs,
When we can teach kids.
