my teachers are slithery sneaky spies
i watch em closely
and it ain’t no pie
i hide mostly
trying not to get caught
i duck into the leaves
my teacher came out and I thought
what’s under her sleeves
it looked like a lump
i pondered what it could be
“PLOP” before I knew it I fell on my rump
my eyes watered and I went on a crying spree
my teacher came over
and asked me what I was doing
said I was looking at a clover
i started accusing
“You’re a spy!”
she looked at me with confusion
“Hey I’m not a bad guy”
“The lump under your sleeve is what brought me to my conclusion”
“Oh this is just a watch”
“I’m just as dumb as a nut”
“I thought it was a deathwatch!”
“A what?”
“Nevermind”
“I’m going to go play hopscotch”
“Next time tell me what’s on your mind”
i fooled her so easily I guess i’m topnotch
