To enjoy our day together, I would like to share a very special poem with you. It is called Teachers and it was written by Roger Stevens. This lovely poem, together with many others, is published in The Truth about Teachers, a book full of hilarious rhymes by Paul Cookson, David Harmer, Brian Moses and Roger Stevens. (Thank you guys!
I love them all!)

According to the autors, this book will make you laugh your socks off! And I just could not agree more! Enjoy the poem, enjoy your day and enjoy what you have chosen to do with your life:
enjoy being a TEACHER!

TEACHERS

by Roger Stevens

Teachers are happy

All of the while

Teachers are cheery

Teachers all smile

Teachers have eyes

In the back of their heads

Teachers remember

The good things you said

Teachers are friendly

Teachers are kind

Teachers can always

See into your mind

Teachers will help

If you're stuck with your sums

Teachers like stillness

But not wriggle-bums

Teachers are visitors

From outer space

Teachers play Scrabble

But never kiss chase

Teachers like writing

Their writing is neat

Teachers are honest

Teachers don't cheat

Teachers walk or ride bikes

(They don't have much choice

They can't afford cars

And they'd love a Rolls-Royce)

Teachers eat salad

And stinky old cheese

Teachers have patches on jackets

And knees

Teachers are fair

Though they can give cross looks

Teachers have hobbies

They love marking books

I'm glad I'm a teacher

The best in the town

Now open your books

Be quiet

And SIT DOWN!
