For My Teacher Friends

This is a piece of writing I found in a teacher book titled Rainbows, Head Lice, and Pea Green Tile. Teachers, you'll relate to this. And parents, I hope you are not offended by this. If you are offended, then quit doing your kid's work. :)

The Note I Never Sent

To the Father of Martin Ambrose

Dear Mr. Ambrose,

Congratulations on the lovely job you did

With Martin's science project.

Your tree cross-section was accurate

And the root system was structurally correct.

Enclosed you will find Martin's version of the project.

I had him do it at school today.

It's not quite as detailed as yours

But it's very good.

You'll be happy to know

Martin earned a B.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lester
