I’m really rather popular.
My gifts are piled high.
My vast approval rating’s
not a thing one can deny.
I got a Lambourghini
and a new computer too,
as well as several smartphones
and a solid gold canoe.
I got a champagne bottle
weighing eighty kilograms.
I got a pair of oxen
and a clutch of newborn lambs,
and if you think that’s crazy
I can tell you something more:
I got a diamond necklace
and a trip to Singapore.
I got an ostrich feather coat
plus ninety pairs of shoes.
It seems my pupils love me
so they came to pay their dues.
I got some fancy Christmas gifts.
It made me feel smug.
The greatest gift, however
was the ‘World’s Best Teacher’ mug.
