Mr. G, Mr. G

When I enter his room, I'm full of glee


Colourful diagrams, arrows and long lines

Mr. G draws a smiley face. "You guys will be fine"


We've got a new assignment. It's on Google Classroom

It's clearly outlined. Now I won't need a tomb


We're graphing our logos, doing it in groups

"How about I be nice. I'll let you guys choose"


The last day of October, Halloween has come

He hands out some candy."Let's have some fun!"


We're not doing work. We want to chat

Mr. G watches us. He says nothing about that


I stride to his desk and look up at his eyes

He answers my question. It's negative, I realize


"How were your breaks? I've been at home

"I hope you've all had fun Playing in the snow"


He mentions Cam's costume, saying, "I watched anime"

"Wow, sir, me too," she smiles and says


Comprehensive handouts, he passes out papers

"If you want extra practice, go do these later"


He points at the calendar. Next week, there's a test

With Mr. G's help, I will do my best


I'm checking over my test. "Would you like another page?"

I say "No, thanks" and chuckle, can't wait 'til the next day


With sin, cos, or tan, I'll measure the height

Because of Mr. G, I have no fright


He gives us a break. "Can we go take a walk?"

He says yes, so we take laps and talk


He writes an equation. It's the difference of squares

Mr. G isn't boring. Now I will care


He pulls up a riddle, shows it on screen

We think for a moment. "The answer is green."


"I'm tired," says a student. Mr. G laughs like a pal

He walks over and grins. "Stop playing Clash Royale"


We scribble on the whiteboards. Our drawings are much larger

"Don't draw there anymore, or I'll hide the markers"


It's the last day of class. We're all sad to leave

"Thanks so much, sir, we'll miss you, Mr. G"
