The grouchy Servant Teacher

The chinese teacher
Does not come,
The work of the portfolio
Falls on me.

For the sake of the rabbits,
Friday I do not come,
The work of the typing
Falls on me.

I dread my job
And think it a misery,
Seeing the children
Does not make me happy!

But I give thanks to you
That I am a teacher,
And a servant,
Though unwilling,
I thank you for
Your kind intention
Though I look for other things!

You do not give me
Like the world gives me,
But your heart in giving
Is pure and blameless and sweet!

Though I still feel grouchy
Over my misery of a job,
I give thanks
To you for opportunities
To serve as a teacher
And to provide a living
For me, my family and my rabbits!
