She asked if I could write a poem

That promised I won’t #ail

“I promised I’ll have no more #’s

My #ocus will prevail”

I’m #inished with her pestering

I’m sick of parent con#erences

Demanding I con#orm

You’d mark an # #or me

Your class is dumb, I’m un#ull#illed

I never #elt you cared

It’s #unny this is how it ends

This poem o# which you dared

Ms. #ranklin quickly shot right back

By texting me, “Dear Je##

How #oolish you would live in #ear

To think I’d give a #

fact or fiction
