My Favorite Teacher - by Rich(ie) Felson

My favorite teacher when I was a boy,
Wasn't Kenny or Seward, or Mrs. McCoy.
My favorite teacher when I was a lad,
Wasn't Wiggerman or Ireland or Mr. Shad.
No, the teacher for whom I was a fan,
Was my lovely art teacher, Miss Monahan*

She could be quite nasty,
And by some she was hated.
But not me, I was very stimulated.
She influenced me though I wasn't yet grown,
She didn't require much testosterone.

Rumor had it that she could be seen
Spread out in Playboy magazine.
We never saw the pictures, of course.
But we heard it from Larry Malman,
...a reliable source.

When I thought of those pictures, it made my heart beat.
The Rose Hill girls just couldn't compete.
I learned imagination, to paint and to draw.
Imagining Miss Monahan
Without her bra.

Speaking of bras, just an aside,
Wiggerman used to stuff her tissue inside.
I still think of that woman today,
When in the heat of passion, I need to delay.

But Miss Monahan in an artist's smock
Something to look at besides the clock.
I could be wrong but its my recollection,
In art class I had my first......affection.
Whether she saw me looking, I can't recall.
Since I spent most of her classes out in the hall.
It's a crying shame the way we fighted.
I guess my love was unrequited.

In some old folk's home, there sits an old lady.
Still looking good, though she's well past 80.
I'll visit her room, but when she hears my call,
I hope she won't scream: "Out, out in the hall!"

*Some secret admirers remember her as Miss Mollihan. Whatever her name, the memory's the same.

As I recall, this exact same thing happened around...1959?
Except we were there for it! Some things never change...
