Gone High Tech


You may have noticed, teacher,
I am not in school today,
But the wireless mic on my desk,
Will record each word you say.

Switch on my laptop’s Web cam,
When you have something to show,
And if you pass out homework,
Find my fax number below.

I’ve a pager and smart phone,
So I won’t be hard to reach.
Since I don’t need to be in class,
I’ll do lessons at the beach.
