I used to be suspicious

I used to be suspicious

A very new teacher me thing

If something went missing

It was automatically students taking.

Now of this I did have cause

For in one of my first few weeks

Some very expensive Magnets

May have walked down to the creek.

Alas, they were actually stolen

From my Year 8 Science class

So from that point I thought

Always of students taking.

It took me many months

Of losing personal equipment

To realise that inevitably

I’d lost the stuff to my baggage compartments.

I no longer jump to conclusions

And it pains me to see this in others

As sometimes what we think has happened

Is quite simply an illusion.
