Excellence Award in the 'Write Here Write Now 2017' competition

The teacher has moved me.
Right next to Annie Lee.
Her hair is messy.
And her shirt is free.
Her pants are torn.
And her shoes are worn.
But her voice is quite nice.
And she gives me advice.
She’ll help me with a sum.
And never calls me dumb.
She’s very smart.
And great at all art.
She’s not that bad.
And the BEST FRIEND I’ve had.
