    The notecards began every class,
    and many a question I asked.
    They answered politely,
    delivered quite nicely
    their stories both present and past.

    Next, from the syllbus read I,
    spoke 'til every student was red-eyed.
    They listened intently,
    or faked it so gently,
    I felt like a word-working deadeye.

    I explained that the choice they had made
    was solely for hardworking, brave
    Spartans who care
    about truth, and more rare,
    all those willing to read for their grades.

    I then hit the details of Scribe Notes,
    hitting the low and the high notes,
    all year we will write
    and develop our minds
    like an embryo grows from a zygote.

    Last, we finally got down and dirty
    about MYTH, constructing a word-tree.
    But you seemed to all grasp
    the import of the task,
    Even if you think English is nerdy.

    And that's when I stopped in the middle
    of unraveling this little riddle:
    What is MYTH, sisters, brothers?
    It's a word multicolored
    like a big bag of bright Rainbow Skittles.
