“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior
in As You Like It (2.1)
Harmon School; Aurora, Ohio;
1982–97
It took a while, but back I went—
The job to me was heaven-sent.
An opening they had—at last!
And I leapt back into my past.
The English-teaching, all the plays—
Oh, I just soared through all my days.
But one day I looked up and knew—
Retirement loomed, and I was through.
It all had flown in such a rush,
But I had held a royal flush:
I loved that job—the students most.
My colleagues (I don’t like to boast,
But they were great—I learned so much.
Because of them—their Midas touch.)
