Fresh Candidate for Teacher’s Pet

It’s almost a first
Day of school feeling,
This being released

Into home hospice
Following a month
In the hospital.

Collect your supplies.
Prepare your notebooks.
Complete paperwork.

Worry you’ll do well
Enough to handle
The new challenges.

You won’t get to meet
Any new friends, true,
But you’re familiar

With the class bully
Already. Teacher
Death still needs a pet.
