    I am a teacher in my classroom now an easy day covering the bases really. Students are on task summer school blues they all want to run why it is summertime.

  • Bluesy Departures

    Fighting a certain fatigue I am wondering please If I might be in a new league One that does not appease A lackluster attitude One that simple reminds Our heart of the dude That won’t let me unwind Sounds foolish to the ear But wait a second now If you listen close you hear The…
