Ode To the Filofaxin' Teacher

Sitting in my classroom

Kids are working well

Planner there before me

Riiiiiing - there goes the bell

Carrying my Filo

Waving it as I pass

Organised and ready

For my Modern History class

Students neatly seated

Books are open wide

Time to check my lesson plan

Safely tucked inside

Pages are a flutter

Organizing bliss

Everything is close at hand

Nothing goes amiss

Markbook in the back of it

Notes and grades are steady

Tables and dividers

Rolls are marked and ready

Time to head for meetings

I Filoflash with ease

Teachers with technology

Have laptops on their knees

Someone asks a question

I need the answer quick

I find the Martha Stewart Tab

And have it in a tick

The WiFi suddenly goes down
I sip my coffee mug
While everyone is panicking
I sit there looking smug
 

In one small space I seem to have

everything I need

The meeting's coming to a close

My binder shuts with speed

So now its quitting time at last

and here's the precious rub

while everyone is logging off

I'm already at the pub!
