Rondelets – The Wednesday Wars

Holling Hoodhood
is not Jewish or Catholic he’s
Holling Hoodhood
and is often misunderstood
on Wednesdays he tries to appease
his teacher but by June he sees
Holling Hoodhood

Nefarious
my teacher, Mrs. Baker, plans
Nefarious
schemes, leaving me precarious
every Wednesday I’m in her hands
am I the only one who pans
Nefarious

“Doug Swieteck’s brother wouldn’t even come near me, and I would foil Mrs. Baker’s nefarious plan.” The Wednesday Wars Gary D. Schmidt p. 13

I bought The Wednesday Wars for my little one. She began 7th grade this year and her home room/English teacher is Mrs. Baker. One of her vocabulary words happens to be nefarious. She pointed it out to me while we were reading the book together.
