3rd Through 6th Grade

3rd Through 6th Grade

by Jones LM

Mrs. Swails was fat and mean.

Mrs. Hartman was thin and sweet.

Mrs. Powers, I can only recall her name.

Mrs. McFarland was my sixth grade teacher.

She looked like Rita Hayworth.

She combed my hair for the class picture,

and she told me how much she liked

my Red Ryder tee shirt.

We were in love.

I remember the smell

of peanut butter and apples

and the slight scent of Shalimar

the

cloakroom.
