- Poem by Eric Chacko, Grade 9

My teacher doesn't speak English well
And reading isn't her forte
I don't like her that much,
Because she gave me a C- minus on my report

My report was great
It could even be considered spectacular
But she gave me a C- minus
Because she doesn't understand the vernacular

Even this poem
She won't be able to comprehend
Because she doesn't speak English
Which is why she'll never be my friend
