At the Mercy of the Moon

Every teacher dreads you being full...

The scientists say

That your phase

Doesn’t change my students

But every time I see you are almost full…

I groan.

*

I love my students and most of the time they aren’t a problem.

but something about the full moon

means they will be a little more spicy

a little more defiant

a little more cranky.

*

I wish there was some way

to tell you I love the sight of the moon.

But the affect on my kids

are enough to make me pull out my hair.
