Coles Diana's Little Book of Poems at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

From the introduction:
Although I am better known for my prose, I do occasionally dabble in the odd poem or two. This collection uses my day job as a background: I’m a teacher and believe me, the field of education is ripe with enough oddities to fill more than this slim volume. I threw a few other pieces in as well, just for fun.
The poems that follow are arranged topically rather than chronologically – kinda-sorta. Some might seem like strange juxtapositions, but their placement just seemed to make sense to me.
It is important, however, that you, my dear reader, understand I did not hate my job. Reading these poems might lead some to that conclusion. Rather, like most professions, it is the foibles, the tedium, the nonsense that provides fodder for the roaming imagination, not the everyday business of work.
So read on, Macduff!
And see what treasures my teaching hath wrought.
