English teacher
every seat in room 340 was taken
when mr. dugan entered
first day of teaching full-time
in a newly opened high school
the kids eyed skinny dugan
fresh out of teacher training
teach this guy a thing or two
they thought
won't know what hit him
poor chump teach
mr dugan had a trick or two
of his own
the word for him was not
part of their vocabulary
in school or out
a lycanthrope he was
transition from man to wolf
was easy for him
a few shudders
and the sight of prey
transformed dugan
into a ravening beast
of prey from teacher
at the front of the room
to hairy animal
out for fresh blood
