That teacher DOES sound nice! I would totally join the class had i read that notice, and, you know, been in the same country and stuff.

I'd join that class,
and write bout the grass
or p'haps bout the shade
that the nice grass hath made
i'd describe the c'pillar
who in the shade made a villa
t'which he invited his mates
to consume bug-type cakes.

the end!
