When asked to write an evaluation of my classes at Tri-County Community College, Roger, who now writes articles for the Graham Star, felt poetic and gave me a chuckle with his verse.
EVALUATION
SENSATION
A great and worrisome
darkness
Settled on the land
of Wes-Nor-Caro
Intelligent and
interesting writers
Were no-more-o
Good writing was
a-dwindling
And most deserved to
be kindling
Seeking to fulfill
its mission of enlightenment
The gods of Mount
TCCC-us
Sent out missionaries
to find someone to teach-us
Like Socrates they
held a lantern
Like the prince they
held a glass slipper
Like conservatives
they sought a Gipper
Like a jacket they
sought a zipper
One day there
appeared a North Star and they were guided
To a ray of light
multi-sided
Approached to teach
she consented
And to an extra
tuition they relented
And the word went out
across the land
That new skills would
be provided
Flock they did to
where she resided
Wondrous stories of railroad cars, beloved squirrels
Rusty Ramblers and beloved Irish grandmas were provided
Then from Mount
TCCC-us came a pronouncement
In the form of an announcement
The muse of words
synonymous
Must no longer remain
anonymous
Evaluate her for
transfer of enlightenment
And do this with
excitement
So from me to Mount
TCCC-us
Let it be known that
Glenda was illuminous
My skills from poor
to great they went
And many thanks to
Glenda are sent
