Early morning indigestion
Motorway congestion
Students fully of germs and bugs
Too much work and brain fug
Brow burns
Streaming snot
Sore throat
Head hot
Wake up feeling dreadful
First cold of the season
Grateful it is weekend
And I don’t have to pretend or reason
With unruly students, pesky pests,
Procrastinators, sharp-cornered desks
Eager beavers and teacher pleasers.
Sat in bed instead with TV and Maltesers.
Pass the tissues, please. XXX

Fire burns at back of throat
I’ve got the lot
Too real! How much more healthy teachers will be when everything is done remotely. (May I be out of it when it happens, though!)
