Ode to Teachers

Sometimes you yelled at us,

Got frustrated, even mad.

You told us to do things,

And we just laughed.

You tried to teach us things,

But we never listened.

And so sometimes, 

Devils we were christened.

But as we walk the paths of life,

We remember you,

And our lives are made much richer

For that knowledge, it is true.

In truth, you deserve eight million apples,

Because you are so very clever;

Though we pretended otherwise,

You were the best teachers, ever.
