Just handed the OP's poem to a friend who arrived in Korea six weeks ago. He's being royally screwed by his hogwan wonjangnim (I wonder if that means 'unethical b@stard' in Korean). He had a good laugh, happy to know that others have endured what he's going through at his 'academy' (ahem). People should print off the OP's poem and anonymously send it to their wongjangnim. Better still send it to the Korea Times or one of those expat rags in Seoul. Funny stuff.

A hagwon boss' lament.

Oh where art thou now oh exotic foreign teacher,
On whom my business relied,
I made you teach 46 classes per week,
And now you've slipped into the night.

The lack of forward thinking,
and the fact that you have ran,
Has left me truely up shit creek,
For there is no contingency plan.

I'll cover the classes as best I can,
but when the mothers realise,
that there is no foreign monkey dancing,
they'll surely cut their ties.

And so I say to you selfish foreigner,
46 classes, no breaks, average pay,
Why ever did you run from me,
your workload was a Korean's holiday.

Probably a lot of the directors would write back:

if you not be 400 poundsi,
you maybe still be aroundsi,
If you no be so blacky,
Maybe i ask you come backy.

I love the head teacher's come-uppance...




Here is my contribution


The recruiter

The recruiter�s name was Ben
You come to Korea � When?
�I�ll come next week
A new job I seek
So I will meet you in ten�

To Korea I flew pretty soon
When I got there there was a typhoon
No domestic flight
Oh what a fright
I raced around Seoul like a loon

Finally got to Po�hang
Then they say �you�re vary young�
�Our parents complain
They say you did not train
And also you don�t speak out tongue

�D�uh! I say �help me out�
Besides there is no need to shout
�You�re manuals suck
You just want a quick buck
It�s a shame that I have no clout�

No they said it�s ok
We need your passport today
It�s just for a while
And they give me a smile
�So we can give you your pay�

Then when it didn�t come back
I said �Hey guys cut the slack�
�No passport, no teach,
I�d rather be on a beach
I don�t care if you give me flack

�Here is a transfer� they said
You can go to this school instead
�You�ll move to this city
But isn�t it pretty?
Your passport goes to the head�

�Great� I say round the bend
I work here every weekend,
My friends wedding party
Is on Saturday smarty
What do you plan to do then?

�I�ll get other teachers to cover
And I can return the favour
I am too tired�
�If you go you�re fired!�
�Gees, what are you my mother?�

So I took a day�s trip
Without giving her lip
�Bad teacher, bad teacher�
Says the old preacher
That is the point where they flip

�Here is your passport� they say
We cancelled your visa today
You must get the ferry
Go in a hurry
Of course we will give you no pay.

�Great� I say, 'that�s the rule?
I need time to find a new school'
�No! you will go home,
My country�s like rome'
�But I don�t have to you fool!��

I am still in Korea today
No, I didn�t get pay
I do hold a grudge
Never went to a judge
But I�m still here so what can I say?

LOL. Some of you people are really talented.

(Sorry, I like looking through old posts. There's some gems from the past. This one had me laughing out loud in the staff room. )

[ogodines]
