Teachers - Funny Creatures

Teachers are really funny creatures - they are often underpaid, overworked and easily forgotten, but nevertheless they are happy to be with kids especially on their professional holiday - The World's Teachers Day, that is celebrated on the 5 of October in more than 100 countries. It is a great day for teachers in Russia too.

Let's read a humorous poem by John Foster about teachers and learn some new vocabulary. Then you can watch a funny video on the topic.

Teachers! Teachers!                                                                                                                                                                       

Teachers! Teachers!

They’re the strangest creatures.

Miss Twitch is a warty witch.
Mr Bryant is a bone-crunching giant.
Miss Blake is a poisonous snake
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Gizzard is a wicked wizard
Miss O’Toole is a gruesome ghoul.
Mrs Benneton is a bony skeleton.
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Sweaty is a hairy yeti.
Mrs Flagon is a fire-breathing dragon.
Mr Duke is a grisly spook
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.                                                                          

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Cape is a ginormous ape.
Miss Spatula has fangs like Dracula
Mr Knoll is a fearsome troll
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Miss O’Keith has bloodstained teeth.
Mr Yoga is a grotesque ogre.
Mr Dread is a headless head
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.
