Farewell

Dear Los Angeles Unified School District,


It was the best of times and the worst of times, however, I can't say I regret any of the time I've spent working for you. I hated to love you and loved to hate you. Its been real.... really real. So real, at times, I really wanted it to be fake, but alas, it wasn't.  This day inspires me to sing to you the following. Enjoy. 

(Sing to the tune of "So Long, Farewell" from the movie, "The Sound of Music")

There's a strange sort of clicking

From the keyboard this morning.

And a strange sort of feeling, too 

With anticlimatic sort of ending

Because for eight years and counting,

I've been going coo-coo.

(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

(Coo-coo) 

Wistfully, I write this.

(Coo-coo) 

But happily, I announce.

Today, I am resigning

(Coo-coo)

From you.

Soooooo long.

Farewell.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Godspeed.

I sincerely tried to believe, to care, to lead.

lalala lalalala lalala ha ha Soooooo long.

Farewell.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Adieu.

Adieu.

Adieu.

To the drama and the bureaucracy and the idea that I could change you.

lalala lalalala lalala ha ha 

Sooooo long.

Farewell.

Au revoir.

Auf Weidersehen.

I wish I could stay and witness the means to the end. 

Yes?

No.

halaha lalala halaha ha ha 

Soooooooooo long.

Farewell.Auf Weidersehen.

Goodbye.

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye.

Goooooooodbiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I'm glad to go.

I cannot tell a lie.

I flit. I float.

I fleetly flee I fly

The time has come

To simply wave bye bye

Soooooooo long.

Farewell

Auf Weidersehen

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
