I've been working on this poem for years but have never been able to finish it. Here are the first two stanzas.

FDO

 

 

One of my students

Is a vulgar little shit

At least that’s how my uncle,

Gary Nichols,

Would have described him

 

Gary was a teacher

Feeding English to the unwashed masses

Including the lowly holy

Of East Texas

So yeah, he was an expert
