The teacher’s union
promises
to keep parents informed
during the strike.
The Education Minister declares
24/7 negotiation.
The Board of Education says
schools will remain open,
but no instruction
and no guarantees
for students’ safety.
I remember a joke…
An establishment
offers entertainment
for men.
Customers are greeted
with champagne, caviar,
discretely asked
their preferences:
blondes, or brunettes,
full bodied, or slim built.
The place opened last week
– no girls yet –
but everyone agrees
the management
is superb.
