Oh stories are such simple things.
Words lined up to give you wings.
Thoughts of old with new dressings.
Or ancient memory of what life brings.
All throughout you’re full of wonder,
who’ll be the pirate, who’ll get the plunder?
And through the journey you will wander.
And for the hero you grow fonder.
Though the twists are each expected,
once you see them, and thoughts reflected,
you didn’t guess them now become dejected.
For by the author you were bested.
Oh simple things are stories
Ideas, and hope, and escape from worries.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
