Algebra 101

Poised at the chalk board
She wrote formulas
Wearing a mini-skirt
Her derriere barely concealed
She dips daintily down at the waist
A scholar and a seductress

A figure more beautiful
Than any algebraic equation
My mind mesmerized by curves
My eyes led astray
From Pythagorean Theorem

Classmate protests her attire
How can we focus he declares
Her non-compliance expressed by silence
As she obdurately prances
Clad as provocative temptress
My drop out inevitable as gravity

Hot for Teacher...

Which hair band did that song?
I think it was Van Halen, maybe.

Cool beans.
Dig it.

Nazz, I've have to youtube that song. I vaguely recall it. Again glad you enjoyed the poem.

John

For some reason I thought of A Confederacy of Dunces, the novel. Maybe it was the bit about the chalkboard? Maybe because it was set in New Orleans where you live.
"It's prolly full of dirty stories"

Thanks john
much enjoyed reading your poem

Stilltrucking, I loved your link. LOL This poem was about an actual instructor who taught my freshman college algebra class. It occurred in Baton Rouge, at Louisiana State University in 1983. I didn't learn much about algebra, but boy the classes were visually stimulating.

John

Louisiana State University in 1983

what a difference a quarter century makes. Women had a dress code when I was in college. .

I could tell you a story about Raging Cajun the tiger that used to be the mascot for the LSU football team that would break your heart.

Nothing to do with your poem, I will post it for you on a separate thread.
.

sounds like seduction 101

Stilltrucking, Mike the Tiger still paces the cage, albeit a much more luxurious and spacious one. I am most interested in your story.

SmileGRL, you are sagacious as always my friend.

John

Has mike been Declawed?

Not sure it is the same tiger I spoke of.

Yes I think your tiger predates the current one by a wide span of years. I am interested in your story.

John

I am kind of sorry I mentioned it.

On the subject of cats, I was going start a new thread about a tiger that was in the Circus I worked for. But I decided to just glom onto yours. We called him Rajun Cajun.

He used to be the mascot for LSU football team. They had declawed him but butchered the job. He was in constant pain. Could not stand to put any weight on his front paws. He would constantly shift from paw to paw roaring in agony.

Not to change the subject
Have you ever read A Confederacy of Dunces?

I think you would love it. If for no other reason than it is so much about New Orleans.

I started to read "Confederacy of Dunces" but didn't get very far. It was quite an entertaining read as far as I got. I will have to acquire a copy and give it another try. Thanks for the recommendation.

John

I am such a liar

I never read it either.

I listened to the audio tape

Read by a really good comic actor.
Arte Johnson .
I listened to a bit of another audio tape by some other guy and it was not as good.

One day when I am in dire straights Myrna Minkoff will coming riding in from NYC in her Volkswagon and rescue me like she did Ignatious J. Reilly.

wickedly fun read, John... and Nazz was right, Van Halen with David Lee Roth doing the singing... crazy-ass song ( )

mtmynd, it was a great time in my life. I'm glad you enjoyed. Now that I'm over the hill I look back on those days with pleasure. The Van Halen song sounds groovy. Hard to believe that over twenty years have passed since it was composed.
