Teachers

 

                               Where Do All The Teachers Go?

Peter Dixon

Where do all the teachers go

When it’s four o’clock? 

Do they live in houses

And do they wash their socks?

 

Do they wear pyjamas 

And do they watch TV? 

And do they pick their noses

The same as you and me? 

 

Do they live with other people? 

Have they mum and dads?

And were they ever children?

And were they ever bad? 

  

Did they ever, never spell right? 

Did they ever make mistakes? 

Were they punished in the corner

If they stole the chocolate flakes?

 

Did they ever lose their hymn books?

Did they ever leave their greens? 

Did they scribble on the desk tops? 

Did they wear old dirty jeans? 

 

I’ll follow one back home today

I’ll find out what they do

Then I’ll put it in a poem

That they can read to you.
