Teacher Gifts

These are a few of my favorite things,
To prepare teachers for what summer brings.
Color-themed gifts in a cellophane bag,
Tied up with string and a colorful tag.

They are gifts from the wee Dopps
As gestures of thanks.
We've had some great teachers
Who've joined our friend ranks.

They deserve something pricey;
Their skill makes me weep.
But with seventeen teachers,
I got something cheap.

Sunscreen and candy,
A Sharpie and gum.
I hope they don't think
This small gesture is dumb.

My gratitude's such
It could take up a tome,
But time's running short,
So I made up this poem:

Because of you,

I didn't get dumber.

Thank you for teaching me.

Have a great summer!
