A poem based on “Miss Awful” by Arthur Cavenaugh

Roger was a kid in first grade,

and he thought that shool was a place to play,

he had a whimsical teacher,

with fun and cool ideas to feature.

One day when Miss Wilson was away,

he thought that the new teacher might be okay.

Miss Orville, or Miss “Awful” he called her,

wasn’t as pleasant as he thought she was.

She made them line up properly and practice marching too,

they can’t run, play or bring toys to school,

Roger wanted to play, but his toys got taken away, he thought the teacher was cruel.

A day after school, just before Miss Wilson was back,

when the substitute started to pack,

he went up to Miss Orville and spelt “castle” and “flower”,

to show that he had the power.
