Dry Eyes

By McCoy Crawford

Students drop in like rain from their previous classes

The teacher sets up the projector

“What did the yeast say to the sleepy oven?”

The class stares sleepy with dry eyes

“Wake and bake!”

The class stares unamused with dry eyes

The teacher chuckles and starts his lecture

Sounding like the guy

Promoting clear eyes

Who says

“Dry eyes?”
