Having torn 'em from the card and rubbed off the glue,
I put 'em with some other rocks
in a little sectioned, labeled box
and brought 'em to school for Show-and-Tell.
The box had a transparent cellophane
cover designed to discourage fingers,
but the next day I had to complain to the teacher—
Mrs. Eggering—that my little green
garnets were missing—the cellophane
breached. Mrs. Eggering
must have been fed up with my rock collections,
because, instead of showing concern,
she bluntly asked me to please stop bringing
my boxes of rocks to school.
