Terpsickore: An Experiment in Rhyme

I had one job for which I had to wear a suit. I had that job for five days and got fired.
Now, I wear t=shirts and shorts and teach English in comfortable garb. The students are comfortable with me and the President of the college is just fine with it.
It is how we do our job that counts…appearances are just surface perceptions.
I like green too, but will take less of it to be comfortable.
I just got a fortune two days ago in my fortune cookie. It said “you will soon get a promotion at your job”—
pretty funny since I am still teaching but am retired.
I guess the promotion might be to my next life?
sorry…this poem got me going.
