it's about time

The teacher doesn’t
like boys, the kids say. Girls can do
no wrong;
boys have no wiggle room, and a hue and cry
develops and cries: unfair!
and so it must be, for education
should be as clean as possible of
biases. but another voice, a shy one, a
tiny one, says: “well,
it’s about time,” though not at all
in defense of the
teacher, who, quite frankly, is a
witch, but in
the stead of the girls.
good for her;
good for them.
it is about time.
