Gwen and her Pen

There once was a student named Gwen

Who was fond of throwing her pen.

A teacher called Lou

Said, “that won’t do!”,

And threw that pen back at Gwen!

        I have heard of that, Vivienne! Once, as a very young child, I had my mouth washed out with soap and water for swearing. Obviously I should not have used bad language, but putting soap into a child’s mouth for swearing is, quite frankly abuse and I’m sure that where a teacher to do so today they would rightly be disciplined (or prosecuted) for doing it.

    I threw a pencil at a student once after he confessed to putting his apostrophes over the ‘s’ when he didn’t know how to use one. And, yes, I’d fallen for his ploy.
