I have your themes back on the incident at Al Creek Bridge. Most of you understood the film rather well. Jason, I don't have anything from you. Where's your theme? I don't know. What do you mean I don't know? I guess I didn't have time to do it. Nonsense. You had a whole week. I want it in tomorrow or else.

And just last week during the parent teachers meeting, some clowns let the air out of the tires in the parking lot. Okay, Jason. I want you to put yourself in someone else's place for a change. What would you do if you had a car and someone let the air out of all the tires? I guess I'd hitchhike. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Come on, fellas. Got some nice carrots for you. Come on. Come here, Lighty. Come on, Bella. How you doing? Hungry, [Music] huh? Ed Cummings is one of our greatest American poets. As a matter of fact, I brought in one of my own books today.

And it's spring and the goatfooted balloon man whistles spar and we Jason would it be too much to demand your attention for the rest of the period? You never know. If you listen you might even enjoy it. All right. What did the rhythm of the poem mean to you? vaccine. Well, made me feel like I was running through puddles of water on a rainy day.

You guys are real babies. You know that? Why don't you go down to the dean's office for the rest of the period? And since you haven't done any work this semester, that means FS. You know what that means? Summer school. Now get out of here. [Applause] Hey, Jason. Come on. Let's go play with the deer. No, there's nothing to do here. Let's get out of here chicken. Let's go.
