Some Days Are Like That

SOME DAYS ARE LIKE THAT

My teacher’s sitting in her chair,
her head between her hands.
She’s mumbling and muttering…
I think she just said SAND!

This really isn’t like her.
I know she lives to teach.
But that was unmistakable…
my teacher just said BEACH!

Ode to the Word on the Tip of My Tongue


Ode to the Word on the Tip of My Tongue

You're so...
(I'm speechless)

Whenever you...
(I'm mum)

The best thing...
(I'm silenced)

I love how you...
(struck dumb)
