At the end of the day
The teacher announces
“There is a test tomorrow
I will accept few excuses”
“Only a nuclear war,
Death or a serious injury
To yourself or one of
Your immediate family”
One smart ass inquired
By way of an interruption
“What if I’m suffering
From total sexual exhaustion?”
There was a lot of laughter
The teacher just smiled
Then she said to the student
“Write with your other hand”
