One of my graduation presents–isn’t it hysterical?
Mean Teacher dish by John Derian
Beware! Beware children of the Bay–whether San Francisco, Marin, Peninsula or East!
¡Mean teacher is here!
Beware! my tight curls, sharp hairsticks, heavy leather-bound volume,
Beware! my mutton sleeves, corsetted waist, pursed lips,
Beware! my unsympathetic eyes and disaffected pointed finger!
I WILL SCHOOL THEE
and it won’t be fun
no it won’t be pretty
Beware. Mean teacher is here.
A Rockridge Life 
But wait………..those lips are so sweet and all manner of care has been taken that every detail be perfect. What could be wrong or who could doubt the ernestness and goodness this person wishes to impart?
