This poem is about a poor boy whose teacher farted and blamed it on a kid. It also tells about how teachers are human too. The person who tells this story was obviously miserable, and they felt like that fart was the worst one in the world. They also exaggerated the whole thing. The message from this poem is that teachers fart too, and that they can also try and cover it up like kids do. The stanza, “ Today the teacher farted. My word, what had she ate? I'll always remember what she did, And now I'm thirty eight!” makes me know that teachers can fart as bad and many kids and adults, showing their humanity.
