4th heaven
Lately the angels were lagging
In their guardian duties
And this displeased the Lord truly
To the 4th heaven His laggards sending
For today a new teacher has arrived
Experienced already in angelic duties
And to boot she’s quite the beauty
As the remedial angels sighed
Now class stand and pledge allegiance
Hand over heart and wings straight
And thus began the whipping in shape
The new teacher and her host of students
Soon it came time for mid eternity exams
These once lagging guardians beamed
As all passed with hundreds times hundreds
Not a finer angelic teacher was ever found
But the angels were saddened somewhat
Though now promoted to the fifth heaven
Word was it wasn’t such the blessing
As with this new teacher of 4th heaven Summers.
My mother, Clara Jean Orander Stokes would have been 92 today. She taught 4th grade mostly.
