Our Teacher’s Multi-Talented
A Funny School Poem for Kids
From the book When the Teacher Isn't Looking
Our teacher’s multi-talented.
He plays guitar and sings.
He paints impressive pictures
and can juggle twenty rings.
He dances like an expert,
he can mambo, tap and waltz.
He’s also quite a gymnast,
doing airborne somersaults.
He’s something of a swimmer.
He’s a champion at chess.
It’s difficult to find a skill
that he does not possess.
He speaks a dozen languages.
He’s great at racing cars.
He’s masterful at fighting bulls,
and studying the stars.
He’s good at climbing mountains.
He can wrestle with a bear.
The only thing we wish he’d learn
is how to comb his hair.
