[New-Poetry] Not teaching

[Judy Prince]

What, you couldnae find the Bully-free way home from school?
Seriously, with dedication like yours----most of us would be dead.

Seriously, Ron---my several hats're off to you.  I'd've been the first one
of your acquaintances-in-action to run for the hills and never return.
