What a lovely writing Visionary. You have captured the essence of a child's heart and thoughts so eloquently. I could completely associate with this writeup :))

Comment from PedrosA5LeggedDonkey
I can see why this won the contest. It's charming! It makes me smile thinking about all the questions my daughters had about boring rules. The old crabby teacher took me right back to 2nd grade with the lady who would grad my wrist and shake it when I didn't pay attention!

Comment from Aussie
Through the eyes of a child with much feeling; really enjoyed your poem which took me back to the times that you wrote about! As you have said - 50 years later we still remember those growing years. Well done poet.

congratulations on winning the contest!
the teacher is a cliche, a very clever one. a sadistic woman who wants everything go the right way to reflect her life.
thank you for sharing!

Comment from Just2Write
I loved this 7 year old's look at Jesus, the old lady (who's probably twenty something) and Santa Claus.
Sounds like she has HER head screwed on right.
I'm not sure anyone knows for sure what colour Jesus liked best - so red would be fine - and that doesn't mean He's the Devil or Santa Claus.
We try so hard to fool kids - but they likely know better than we do. I see there's a censorship group out there that wants to ban the book of poetry called "The Night Before Christmas" Why, you ask?.......
Because Santa is smoking a pipe - and these guys don't want children to see him doing that!

OMG, you're kidding me! (about Santa and the pipe I mean) ... oh dear, lighten up, people! thx J2!

Nope - not kidding:
Pamela McColl decided to â??updateâ?? the nearly 200-year-old poem by deleting mention of the stump of his pipe and the wreath of smoke around his head â?? a move she hopes will deter children from picking up a pack. (excerpt from the National Post. Go figure.

I like it. A fun story as told by a seven year-old. I can remember having some of these same feelings in Sunday School, and that was seventy years ago. Well done.
