First Chair, Beware
A Limericked Peek at Class Oblique
Perhaps the pretty teacher's pet,
Too petulant, yet never threat -
She led the class,
Jumped to surpass,
But was the first we might forget.
.
A century ago, she might
Have pleased instructors with delight,
But now it seems,
The stuff of dreams
Are young smart alecks impolite.

This is wonderful.
The well-behaved students are the easiest on the teacher, but very often the wise-cracking kids are the smartest ones. Both kinds are good to have!
Good limericks.
So true!
I Really don't give it much thought, this makes me think on it.
Very cute!
Nice job! I never wanted to sit in the front of the class! :-)
