My passport still shows the faint stamp
From the night I enrolled as a tramp!
Though I soon swapped ‘The Road’
For my present abode
When the company iPad got damp.

Our Senior teacher, Miss Walker –
So winsome, but such a fast talker!
In one very quick chat
(In a bush, near her flat)

Miss Walker and Ms Carter roomed in the same apartment complex as I recall, two pretty cute babes. Walker called me out, but I turned the tables and reported her for misconduct. It takes two to tango, I claimed at the time. I wasn’t that popular when the Principal dismissed her. Not being her only teen admirer, I didn’t feel that guilty. Go figure.
