I just couldn't help myself - I love fitting words into syllable counts and trying to bring meaning out of poetry. Here's my latest attempt - I turned a favorite Christmas carol into a teacher's song.
Merry (early) Christmas!
"The Little Teacher Girl"
(adapted from "The Little Drummer Boy")
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A teacher you will be, pa rum pum pum pum
At Notre Dame with ACE, pa rum pum pum pum
In Phoenix you've been placed, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
"Teach the students there," pa rum pum pum pum,
When they come.
Little students, pa rum pum pum pum
I've never taught before, pa rum pum pum pum
I don't know where to start, pa rum pum pum pum
My greatest gift's my heart, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I read with you, pa rum pum pum pum,
Will you come?
Soon, they nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The years quickly passed by, pa rum pum pum pum
I taught subjects to them, pa rum pum pum pum
I tried my best for them, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
They still smile at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Each day I come.
love your adaptation to my favorite christmas carol! ;)
