Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes

I went down to the river,

 I set down on the bank.

 I tried to think but couldn't,

 So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!

 I came up twice and cried!

 If that water hadn't a-been so cold

 I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator

 Sixteen floors above the ground.

 I thought about my baby

 And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!

 I stood there and I cried!

 If it hadn't a-been so high

 I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin',

 I guess I will live on.

 I could've died for love--

 But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler,

 And you may see me cry--

 I'll be dogged, sweet baby,

 If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

The Silliest Teacher in School

Our teacher gave detention to the fountains in the hall. She handed extra homework to the artwork on the wall.   We saw her point a finger at a banner and a sign. She said their bad behavior was completely out of line.   The principal approached her and said, “What is all this fuss? I heard you tried to punish all the tires on a bus.   “You’ve made the teachers angry by disrupting all their classes, so if you want to keep this job, you have to wear your glasses!”   By Darren Sardelli source: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/145940/the-silliest-teacher-in-school
