I am a teacher of English. Aren’t I?
Every body likes you. Don’t they?
Or doesn’t he? What is this?
Am I making unnecessary fuss?
You are still the lover of only the class
Will you ever be the darling of the mass?
If somebody knows you, he becomes a boss.
If anybody ignores you, she will be at a loss
You are difficult to spell
The only thing we do is to yell
Your description is mere hammer
But you have a lot of glamour
You are expanding like the universe
Even a foolish poet like me writes your verse
You are the queen of all speakers
And will surely stay for all ages

Lovely! Beautiful tribute to my mother tongue, which interestingly dominates, apparently. Your touch of rhyming and rythm was too enjoyable, as you led us through this delightful tribute to English, for now the queen. I liked the angles you presented it from and enjoyed this ode very much! As for spelling....ya, I've heard English is murderously contradictory....therefore all the more honor to you brave souls who master it as a second language.
I have sacrificed my life to make friends with the queen.Even my mother is neglected for her.Thank you cheeky for your wonderful comments.
yours JVL
