Mrs. Kirkland

by Tom Roehl - Sagittarius

I have a special teacher you see,
She teaches us English and how to read

She teaches us Hawthorne, Poe, and Dickinson
Robinson, Bryant, Steinbeck, and Thoreau

But most of all she teaches us how to think
For ourselves, because we won’t have someone so neat.

Mrs. Kirkland it’s because of you that I know what I know
And think how I think, about those words printed on ink.
