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
