When I taught English in Korea, we would eat lunch in the cafeteria, and everyday there was soup. It was served in a small bowl, measuring to about half a cup or a bit more. And so, since i love soup, I started eating as many soups as I can. To impress my students, really. They were in junior high, and very hard to entertain, so I had to get creative. Henceforth, I became the Champion.
Many of them would give me their soup (they could get more) and I would drink the soup up like a drink, slam the empty tiny bowl down, pound the table with my fists, and we would yell out the number of soup it was that I had just finished. I think I did 13 one day, and a bit less the other days. Yes, I did this often, since.... I love soup.
A few of the kids would cheer for me. "Teacher Jess! Teacher Jess!". And I wrote a song about it. It goes to the tune of Queen's "We are the Champions"....
I am the champion
of the school
I eat so much soup
I'm so cool.
I am the champion
I am the champion
No time for losers
Cause I am the champion
of the school....
I'm so cool
Yeah I rule
Who is the champion?
Who is the champion
I am I am I am the champion
Of the school.....

When I taught english in Korea....we ate spaghetti

When I taught in Korea, I ate alot. The food was so good. I stopped drinking soda. I did some shopping. Stuff was cheap. I ate candy and talked about it all day long. I watched some english TV in my tiny luxury room. And I wrote alot of songs for children.
newest rap song for the kids, written enroute to spaghetti lunch and performed shortly after
(open with bad beatboxing)
it's a beautiful day,
i just want to say
in more than one way
it's a beautiful day
