The one person
younger than thirty
who responds
is correct
and is guaranteed
to bed down
the hottest body
within thirty feet
of him/her
This person
also receives
reverberating applause
from everyone
in the room
When that applause is neutered,
the person who asked the question
[also known as Mr. WhozWho]
automatically says
"Next Question"
Virtually
everyone in this "room"
will go home
as a happy camper
with the exception being
the aforementioned
"hottest body"
who was horribly disappointed
by some lifeless
flesh and bones

Politically speaking,
nothing is more satisfying to
nothing is more satisfying to
this former math teacher than
President Trump's demolition of
I only wish someone
of his acquaintance
had the intelligence to quote
on the subject known as
"Public Education"
***
What Mr. Rogers said
was approximately this:
Look at what Prohibition
did to the
United States of America:
By outlawing the consumption
of alcohol,
bootleggers became
as common as
next-door neighbors.
The national consumption
of illegal alcohol
was light-years higher than
the consumption of
legal alcohol
for the fifty years
prior to Prohibition
!!!
!

.
It is now time
paraphrase
Mr. WhozWho
and move to the
"Next Topic"

According to the Good People
who teach in our public schools,
virtually all third-graders
can spell the word
CAT
correctly
but if you ask them to spell
SCAT,
their world turns
upside down
87% of the same students
spell SCAT
with a K
as in
SKAT
I would rather send
my 3rd grade-nephews to bed
than to a public school
So I think I have a solution:
Let's prohibit education
because of the precedent set
!!!
The previous prohibition
created an insatiable lust
for alcohol
Following the same logic,
we can create
a lust for learning
in the classroom
—public or private—
Students will no longer
want teachers
who are "nice"
They will want teachers
who are smart
and open their brains
in front of the class
so there is
enough room
for students
to reach in
and stuff the results
into their own brains
until their bodies
shine with intelligence
while waving goodbye
to ignorance and
embarrassing
test scores
!!!
