The Dark Cloud
Soul searching, sadness…
Inner reflection.
Agony… depression…
Worries and dejection.
As the summer dwindles
And evenings begin to cool…
A dark thought emerges…
It’s time for back to school!
Stash
Although I’ve been out of the teaching biz for a while, I find that I still suffer from this seasonal malady. Being retired from teaching for several years, my period of forlornness usually lasts for only an instant. (Gee… don’t they start those perky back to school commercials earlier and earlier?) Even so, my heart continues to go out to my dedicated brethren, who still manage to climb into the trenches every September. They wage a fine and noble and very much unappreciated struggle each and every day. Stash
