Class Clown

I was popular in high school,

The undisputed “Disrupting clown” …

The teachers and the principal

Tried to shut my antics down.

The moment school was boring,

I had to interrupt the class…

I made dull days memorable,

By becoming an obnoxious ass.

Fast forward thirty years later,

I ended up teaching 7^th grade,

One would think it was a payback

For all past crimes I’d made.

Past teachers would hope it karma,

Yet to me, my happiest years…

Finding myself still accepted,

Still earning praise from peers.

Rumored eyes in the back of my head,

Controlled bad behavior and more…

All the students were clueless,

I had done all of their antics before.
