JOSIE'S POEMS
Funny Poems for Children
By Josie Whitehead
MR MONSTER MATHS
By Josie Whitehead
Each morning at school we knew who’d arrived:
A good night behind him and fully revived!
One look from that face and we’d shake in our shoes,
And even a glance could mean truly bad news.
Excuses? Not wanted and neither were lies.
A mathematics teacher and the devil disguised.
Late for his lessons? Oh no – quite absurd!
Excuses for lateness would never be heard.
Peace reigned supremely. We did well in our tests
For Monster, our teacher, drew from us our best.
In a world short of work, should we give him our thanks?
Well, without Monster Maths there’d be nowt in our banks.

Yes, I was a teacher who taught subjects which would guarantee my students obtained work when they left me, examination certificates in their hands. I taught secretarial work, ie Pitman's shorthand, typewriting, secretarial duties, English etc. I certainly wasn't a monster, though, and my students were pleased that I helped them. Josie
