HYBRID POETRY

 

Hybrid year, this hybrid year.

Do you like this hybrid year?

I do not like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 


Will you hybrid here and there?

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 

Will you try in-person teach

While those home you also reach?

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 

Will the bathrooms be yours, too,

Monitoring those in queue?

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!


 

Will you walk kids in and out?

Hall and lunch and never shout?

In and out and ‘round the hall,

I will watch them, one and all.

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 

Will you make sure hands are washed?

Will those Covid germs get squashed?

I will fight those germs, you bet,

Watching little hands get wet.

In and out and ‘round the hall,

I will watch them, one and all.

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 


Will you sanitize the desks?

While performing arabesques?

In a tutu, do you mean?

Wipe ‘em down like Mr. Clean!

I will fight those germs, you bet,

Watching little hands get wet.

In and out and ‘round the hall,

I will watch them, one and all.

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 

When the children puke and bleed,

Will you see to every need?

Though I’m not a legal nurse,

No one here will need a hearse.

I will keep them safe and sound

Fighting Covid germs around.

I will fight those germs, you bet,

Watching little hands get wet.

In and out and ‘round the hall,

I will watch them, one and all.

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!

 

We may find more jobs for you,

Even ones you cannot do.

You are super, you are great!

You can carry thrice your weight!


 

Flex those brain cells. Never frown.

Teaching! Covid! Wear you down.

If you’re sick, just teach from bed.

No one cares if you’re near-dead.

 

Hybrid model’s here to stay.

Teach it! Teach it every day.

Work your fingers to the bone.

Lucky you – you’re not alone.

 


If you take a closer look

Here’s the part of Seuss’s book

That I say, “I like this much,”

Other things that may sound such.

I cannot believe my eyes.

I don’t have those words so wise.

If I make it through the day,

Here is what I have to say:

Though I’m not a legal nurse,

No one here will need a hearse.

I will keep them safe and sound

Fighting Covid germs around.

I will fight those germs, you bet,

Watching little hands get wet.

In and out and ‘round the hall,

I will watch them, one and all.

Yes, I’ll watch the toilets, too,

For the kids who pee and pooh.

I will teach both home and live

(I don’t know if I’ll survive).

I will hybrid here and there.

I will hybrid anywhere!

I don’t like this hybrid year.

It’s one gigantic pain in rear!
