  • I needed the paper to know when Connor was going to say something.

  • The wife was a lawyer who hated being a lawyer. She became a 6th grade English and reading teacher in my old hometown which is very Title 1, non-English speaking gang bangers. She feels so fulfilled and better as a person. She pulled me into the fold and I left a successful career in finance to teach math to the very same gang bangers. I will never go back to Wall Street because of this poem. I am teacher 259, I will never go back. I want to make a God damned difference in the world. Thank you.

  • I love the original version of this poem, but god damn that was funny. Might be my new favourite.

  • That was cool!! I'm gonna look The Bowery Poetry Club up (online).

  • I think the original poem is much more powerful, but this version is much finnier.
