Ex Out Socks With Sandals Please

We do not allow any hoodies here, principal stated firmly.
My sixth graders pointed to me and laughed. 
Second field trip of the month.
Of course I am the one wearing a clover green hoodie.
It is St. Patty’s day, for Peter’s sake!
Last week during our college field trip 
Prissy registrar showed us a film 
How to dress 
And
How not to dress.
They actually had an X on 
Socks with sandals.
It was a cold day, 
And I love my Birkenstocks
With a bit of fluff.
The sixth graders who notice practically nothing
About me at all when I am trying to get their
Attention thought this was hilarious also.
