Pimping Out My Mac and Cheese

Corrie's Mom

My daughter wants to pimp out my Mac and cheese.

It’s creamy with the heavy cream and it’s three cheese.

She says I can visit my students house to house,

and give out my Mac and cheese. I’m a louse

for not going house to house

like the teachers you see on TV.

I don’t have time to give Steve

or Pippin their individualized

pots when, at home, cruel eyes

stare me down if the Covid chef

and the fridge have nothing left.

They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.
