Teaching Teenagers
Teaching Teenagers.
I adore looking at
The guilty smiles,
Hung like fake jewels
On such innocent faces.
Butter would not melt
In their fair mouths.
Because angels in disguise
Only tell innocent lies.
The restless minds
Of impetuous imps,
Brimming with Life
And burdened with strife.
Are a challenge to reach,
And even more
A joy to teach.
