Teacher For A Day

If I ever got a chance,

I would be a teacher for dance.

Stylish looking I would wear a crop top and jeans,

Teaching toddlers not teens.

No favourites I would make,

On birthdays I would give each one a small cake.

I would choreograph exciting dances,

And give to all a lot of fair chances.

I wish forever I could be a teacher,

And discover each one’s special feature.

It ‘d be too much work for me,

But for me happiness is the key.

Love from everyone I do surely get,

Even the ones whom I never met.

But this surely is my favourite job,

Unlike sitting at home and eating corn on cob.
