4. My Teacher Took My iPod A Funny School Poem for Kids My teacher took my iPod. She said they had a rule; I couldn't bring it into class or even to the school.

She soon was grooving in her seat and rocking to the rap. My teacher changed her mind. She said it's now okay to bring my iPod into class. She takes it every day.
