STATE OF AFFAIRS

 
 
 
 Distance existed
 Several states
 Numerous counties
 A safe range
  
 Misgivings present
 Excuses offered
 Verification impossible
 Heart strings strummed 
  
 No longer a teacher
 Just a facilitator
 Principal alarmed
 Student skipping class
  
 Look at the miles
 So many cities
 Task mastering difficult
 Easier to give pity
  
 Mouth flying like a plane
 There comes a time
 To end the nonsense
 You must walk the line
  
 You never liked hearing
 Advice from me, did you
 You would rather tell your stories
 Then to face up to any miscue
  
 Humility is a wonderful virtue
 Just offering a clue
 No flowers in the winter garden
 Or I would send some to you
