Day 5 NaPoWriMo Poetry Challenge - Inappropriate Laughter

 Title: I am a Teacher

I am a teacher

I laugh at parent requests

messy desks

every unnecessary meeting

the need for assigned seating

I am a teacher

I laugh at test scores

bad behaviors

refereeing truces

all the excuses

I am a teacher

I laugh at silly jokes

when kids pass notes

all the drama

when they accidentally call me mama

I am a teacher

I laugh at my space that's a wreck

when I see my paycheck

when I'm reading to bail

but there's one more email

I am a teacher

I laugh when there is no more try

I laugh so I don't cry.  

*Challenge:

Write a poem in which laughter comes at what otherwise might seem inappropriate.
