Un-PC Poetry

My son is an aspiring writer/artist/poet. He wrote and submitted his first book this year. He loves to draw and creates magical pictures. And, at school, he’s been working hard on his poetry. Tonight, his homework assignment was to create a card and give it to someone special. He picked his teacher as the recipient. And, as he started to think out the lines he would put inside, I heard…

The grass is green,

The sky is blue,

Trees are brown,

And so are you…

We opted for the second draft:

You are a great teacher!
