Substitute
Walk through the door slumping; class is such a drag
Staring at the floor, weighted down by my book bag
When I look up, what do I see? Could it be?
A substitute teacher today, hooray.
I sit down ecstatic, with no longer a care
And then I look over.
The actual teacher is standing right there.
