Take Aim and Fire

Take Aim and Fire
By
Jack Hughes

I’m not an archer,
I don’t carry a bow and quiver
And I don’t play centre forward
For a 100 grand a week.

Nor am I a slicing and pulling
Golfer whose swing needs a tweak.
I’m not a darts player either,
I don’t need to improve my aim.

No, I’m none of the above,
I’ll tell you my game:
I’m a teacher and before anyone forgets
My job is to educate,
Not hit fucking targets.
