Hey Jane, great to see you here! Your Poets on Fire is an excellent forum for poets.

Bill, the Iced Vo-Vos reference was to a classic from the very popular Australian sport of Teacher-Bashing, the basic premise of which is that teachers, especially English teachers -- of whom in New South Wales at least, the big majority are women -- are responsible for all of Society's ills. A NSW Minister for Education once remarked that the greatest issue that teachers had to face in their daily professional lives was whether to have Scotch Fingers or Iced Vo-Vos with their morning tea.

Mark quite often defines any problematic issue in terms of the role of English teachers in causing the problem. Mark holds the rank of Kyuudan in Teacher-Bashing.

I unequivocally support the Poetic Justice Forum.
