Get the Lord Gavinism mug.Allison Gardiner wrote a poem:
oh my oh my..how she loves Dougherty
She can waddle around, and assert her authority
To all of those tiles yet to be cracked...
Is a solemn warning, to all of the children she has snapped
Broken and shattered, innocent no more
At fault of the scary lady and all the colors of the rainbow she adores
But one day, one brave soul emerged
Casted down by a bean of, light sent from the heavens
The children cheered as if the slots had all sevens
A tall figure entered the room, with a small box in hand
Ms Gardiner screamed and threw a fit, but he ignored her every command
The class was astonished, shocked if need be, what could cause such pandemonium and distress
She walked over and swiped the box and held it to the class, she yelled and screamed until there was nothing left to say
When the smoke had settled there was nothing left, but an old box of Chick Fil A
