Call Me-Blondie

And on a day when all of us "Keepers of Knowledge" are bound to our desks...

No urchlins storming the hallways...
celebrating a day off

I sit...
entering grades and comments

Staging the new semester lesson plans...
arranging new folders and seating charts

The phone rings...
and the promises recorded on my video cell phone
just the day before...
at a locker in corridor seven
...are kept

A direct line in...
chimes the voice of a student
who when standing-is a good 8 inches over me...

BEAMING...
That his homework is complete...

"I DID IT"...
"You owe me a bag of Chips!"

Video did not kill my "shining stars"...
It gave them motivation!

Voila!
