MOSGIEL PRINCIPAL'S NEWSLETTER POEM ABOUT 'CERTAIN PARENTS' RUNS TO FOUR STANZAS
Page two of the term three update is, the principal admits, a response to the pickup lane.
The latest newsletter from a Mosgiel primary school includes a four-stanza poem from the principal, titled 'On The Matter Of Idling Engines'. Staff confirm it is not satire.
The poem sits under the canteen menu and above the lost property list. It rhymes 'Hilux' with 'I'm not vexed'. One line reads: 'some among us cannot read a painted yellow line'. Parents at the gate said they knew who it was about, and it wasn't them.
Mosgiel mum Annabel Crozier, 41, read it three times in the car. "It's about Megan. Everyone knows it's about Megan. Megan parks on the crossing and tells the teacher aide it's 'just for a sec'. The poem mentions a sec. Twice."
Another parent, Hayden Voss, said stanza two "got a bit personal" with its line about a grey ute with a bullbar. Hayden drives a grey ute with a bullbar. "Wasn't even there Tuesday. I was on a job in Outram. Bloody slander."
The principal, contacted via the office, said the poem was a response to the pickup lane. Further verses are planned for term four if behaviours do not improve. She would not confirm whether the line about "she who reverses without looking" was about anyone specific.
The PTA has called an emergency meeting. Megan is, reportedly, bringing a slice.
