Cold November winds
and as the tree leaves tremble
so does my ulcer

No no, don't worry
I'll translate everything
So students learn well.

No book? What you mean?
Book is good! Book is fun! See?
Students are funny.

I don't make any
Material for this job.

How come your so fat? It is the many hamburger.
Do you like monkeys? Yes, I like them very much.
Monkeys are very dirty I hate them. I think monkeys are fun.
You should take a rest in a monkey home. Ok I am resting with many monkeys at home.

While dew turns to frost,
My students timelessly call:
"Hi, nice to meet you."

I graduated
Teacher's school! What do you mean;
I have to teach? Ew.


An alternate version:

I graduated
From teacher's college last year
What?! I have to teach?!

~~

Going on a hike?
And eating dinner after?
I'll stay at home, thanks.

Work: I find myself
Surrounded by estrogen;
Where are all the men?

Stop dissing Japan,
A sordid history, sure.
But now, quite polite.

it is still too spicy for me.

I love this one.

~~

Six foot tall woman
red hair, stands out in a crowd
returns stares with smile.

Stare at me? I will
stare back, grinning - I teach your
children tomorrow.

~~

Also my first dose of (remarkably well-educated, considering her english) ajima wisdom:

"Large-ee?"  Yes, thank you.
"You have children?"  No, I don't.
"What need big breasts for?"

We had a saying in the states, when I worked at a high school: when that bell rings at 2:30, unless you've made an appointment, I don't know you.

your voice becomes thunder
then the streets become pillows--
you have mastered the art of alcoholism
