I had a teacher who made class fun
even when my time was done
when i had to move away from town
he always cheered me when i was down.
and when i made a mistake in my life
by that bottle of pills and that silver knife
he stood right there and defended me
he knew when to talk or just let me be.
i know i've done things to make him mad
but there was a special bond we had
student and teacher working together
always helping to make the class better
me and my friends were always a lil loud
but he would be there and say he was proud
for every accomplishment we ever made
he made sure the impression stayed
somehow a role model and friend in one
he's still my teacher though our time in class is done.

We had a teacher who would throw his chalk stub at inattentive pupils. He was a crack shot too, we would hold our breath to watch as some dozo got stung on the bonce.

Wonderfully sweet poem about a teacher who obviously touched you beyond the normal learning experience.
Welcome to Allpoetry and good luck with the contest

Wonderfully heart warming I think we don't realise how much of an influence teachers actually have to us all until we actually stop to think about it. I regret not being in contact with my old teachers (Most of them left about a year after me)
Good luck and thanks for entering

this contest hs been so refreshing to see the respect for teachers who have left part of themselves with so many of us.
This is a a great positive tribute to one such person and I thank you for entering the contest, good luck and Welcome to AP
