Happy (?) Teachers Day

Ouch, that would have to hurt... a poem dedication that became disaster. Well, at least we now know she (a teacher) does not know how to infer from a poem. Obviously, the writer of a poem does not want this to happen. I guess the poem has a little too much sarcasm and irony that the teacher took the poem seriously (the poem was peppered with a few petty jokes to make it interesting and unique compared to the others). Despite our numerous apologies, our efforts did not seem to get through with her. After all, the poem might have outraged her. Well, before the poem was read, we had numerous choices. We could keep the poem as it is (which we unfortunately did), censor a few parts here and there (but it will shorten the poem by a lot and render it very uninteresting) or we could simply dedicate to another teacher (preferably one who do not mind being the butt of a joke). A sense of guilt and worry looms as teacher's day approaches.
