My English teacher hates me

My English teacher hates me

My English teacher hates me,

She smiles at other pupils,
And greets then with a spark,
I get a look from down her nose,
With a derogatory remark. 

The silence in her classroom, 
Is not from respect nor admiration,
It comes from discontentment,

Wonderful rhyming comedy! I must admit this is my favourite kind.
The humour seems so much funnier when its combined with a good rhythmic rhyme as you have done here.

Well done and welcome Emily

Hi Emily, this is amazing. Loved it to the T.it clearly defines sentiments of a child who faces silent cold treatment at the hands of her teacher. Teachers need to be unbiased or else they need to take up another profession.
well done love ? ??
