7.1 To Teachers on Their Returning to Classes

TO TEACHERS ON THEIR RETURNING TO CLASSES

by Eric Chaet

Hope this finds you happy
tho your foes presume you beat.
Hope you have good clothes for cold
& your children lots to eat.

Hope that you’ve been studying
what others think passé,
that you’ve uncovered secrets
on your solitary way.

Hope that you’re dissatisfied,
hope that you’re intense,
hope that you get better paid,
& not one student’s dense.
