Yes! What relief! I've done my last assign-
ment on the TEFL online course. Hooray!
I'm happy with its quality, so I'm
Hoping I will pass the course. Anyway
Last night, even before doing it, they
Had my overall course mark as 90
Per cent! Tomorrow's my TEFL last day
So my tutor has all day to mark me
Then I can tout for business, quality
Teacher, well-qualified to help them climb
The linguistic ladder to fluency
Whether they're from Spain or from Italy
Or maybe somewhere farther off, like Chin-
a or Japan. Come on, please step this way!

3520 - Que dia!
What a day! Intense discussions, morning
Of a highly technical nature and
With really tight deadlines a-looming
Then some well-deserved soup gratefully downed
(Chicken and sweetcorn, like me it's sweet and
Corny). More hard work, afternoon, til five
Too late for comfort, really, as I'd planned
To go home and do TEFL and then I've
Promised to watch the match at Louis'...saved
What I'd done, no time to complete, walking
To town, avoiding rain, got there, was sound
Watching a good away draw, City still alive
In the Champions League, PSG struggling
At home. Then finished TEFL at eleven!

3519 - It's not such a hard knock life!
What a day, did appraisal and Form 10
At work (jargon, I know, sorry) and that
Was hard going enough, but back home, then
I did exercises and ate, then put
My mind to TEFL, final week, a fat
Double lesson and two tests passed with high
Marks! Only one more test to go, then what
Else? - the last assignment, and then, well, I
Will have qualified, and can say goodbye
To studies, can advertise for students
But won't do that til Malta's visited
Might start teaching in May, before I fly
To Iceland, but probably not. There's been
News of Iceland's finances (they are shit!)

3518 - Class of '16
Well, it's been quite a day, starting to tire
But I've accomplished quite a lot, mainly
Getting a reasonably good mark, higher
Than for the last four years, so happy me
I feel at last they're managing fairly
Though of course I won't forget what has passed
Back home, still sunny, exercised promptly
Ironed lots of shirts, tried to be quite fast
About it, ate tea, then before the last
Of energy and resolve died, I fired
Up my teacher's brain, homework lay ready
To do, the last part of my online class
My course is close to its end, it inspires
Me to press on to the line by Friday!

3517 - Hire and hire
A busy day with quite a lot achieved
The main three things I did were as follows
Booking a room in Malta - I'll soon leave
For island sun, and so before it goes
To someone else, you must grab with ten toes
Palazzo Sant Ursula, Valletta
I also booked a hired car for the froze
Island (by contrast) of Iceland, but yeah
It'll be warmer then, in midsummer
Good price too, from Sixt (Reykjavik), deceived
Almost by another site, almost chose
A car for a hundred more! But still more
Important was to do TEFL. Believe
There's less than a week left in which to close!

3516 - North West Odyssey
A lovely day, it started off rainy
But, as was forecast, the sun soon came out
And so we wandered the town, Salford Quays
Walked thru Ordsall, thru Coronation Street
Past Salford Lads Club, journey was complete
When we arrived at the Lowry Centre
Where observed the old nerds, the misfit
Playing with his Baby Bels, so weirder
It was still light then, heading for summer
Got the tram back though to Piccadilly
Drunk men on the train, characters about
Town everywhere we went, so funnier
Then ever before, it's quite a city
Now I'm back home, watching football highlights

3515 - Phone pome
Luckily, I got lots of work done last
Week, and early this week, so been able
To sort out a new i-Phone, and it's just
About up and running. Tomorrow will
See Jo and we can explore apps, get still
More familiar with it, sitting in some
Coffee shop in town. Need a case, that's real
Cheap from a stall in the Arndale. Glass came
By post, but it's the wrong size, oh how dumb!
So instead of twenty quid for strong glass
Cover, I'll get a refund, and avail
Myself of cheap glass from the stall! Job done
Things going well, got Malta boarding pass
Ready now to relax. May drink as well
