Teacher Said

The sky was blue and the ocean too?
Mommy is that true?
And then she said that trees were green
and had always been
until just a while ago.
Mommy is that so?
And then Tommy yelled,
'Lady you're lying'
and she was crying
and then she said,
'Forgive me class, I'll say no more
Mommy, what'd she do that for?
Why are you looking so strange, Mommy?
It happened that way.
Mommy's very tired, dear.
Why don't you get your mask and play?

Question

Clutching a large pail
in one hand,
and a bottle with a large nipple
in the other, a farmer passed us
while we were enjoying a walk.

The dogs strained
toward the pail,
so I guessed aloud
it must be milk.
Just the powder
he avowed.

Then he explainedv
he'd just purchased a calf.
And since he didn't currently own
a lactating cow,
he was cheerfully doing
what he knew how.

Yet he didn't go straight -
to his sunlit fields.
The farmer
suddenly turned the corner,
which led to a shed
instead.
What's wrong with this Picture?
