(stuff And Nonsense) You Are Old, Mrs Windle (With Apologies To Lewis Carroll) Comments

The first of your poems I have read, and what a standard it sets! No need to apologise to Carroll - he'd be flattered at the imitation. This is spectacular.

The teacher's profession is one of the most challenging, arduous professions. One has to be at the same time a clown, an artist, a walking encyclopedia, attractive and not too attractive and calm like a cathedral! Those who never tried it do not know what it is. Those who survive in it deserve great respect. Wonderful poem Jan, laughter can keeps us always on the surface of the deep water :) You are not old as far as I know you, I would not say it yet.

Loved this one, Jan - what on earth do the younger generation think of us old fuddy duddies? Though perhaps we're not as fuddy-duddy as they think!

Brilliant poem Janice...exhilarating stuff! My smile only broadened as and when i read your piece stanza by stanza down...how nicely you agree to disagree there! Top class write...10+
