A letter to announce a sudden end:
They could not bear to tell you face-to-face.
A note was all they could endure to send.

Eighteen years of service to this place.
“Stop filling young minds with worthy thoughts,”
They could not bear to tell you face-to-face.

In a different time, we’d go call out those snots.
We suppose that you’ll go elsewhere. Now,
Stop filling young minds with worthy thoughts,

It’s time to pack up. We can’t tell you how
It saddens us to see things end this way.
We suppose that you’ll go elsewhere, now.

It sounds as brass on our ears to hear them say,
“It saddens us to see things end this way.”
