POEMS WRITTEN BY MY STUDENTS
AT
From Fall 2001 Classes:
Oh, Dan, what a
guy-
His head's in the sky
He teaches us things -
Even makes us sing
Good students we'll be -
When thru Fesler we see
We too can be paid -
Dan is every day !! (Amanda Dunlap, 3170
Class)
There once was a man -
Whose name was Dan
He could teach -
Or even preach
He was shy, but -
Oh, what a guy. (Author's name withheld)
Accounting 3170 is the most fun I've ever had
Because my teacher, Dr. Fesler, isn't all bad
He makes the class so much fun,
I just can't wait until
Dan is great -
Up there with Chocolate Cake
When you so rate -
Its hard not to realize that--you're
great. (Author's name withheld)
Dan, Dan, he's our man
If he can't do it -
No one can !! (Author's name withheld)
This one is for intelligent readers only:
To be, or not to be, - that is the question -
Whether "tis debit or "tis credit
The ledgers and financial statement of outrageous
fortune
Or to take principles against the
An by opposing end them?? (Author's name withheld)
What a guy -
He's not shy
His name is Dan -
And he's du man
He helped us correct the test -
Because he's the best. (Author's name withheld)
Extra credit is what I would like,
Because the grade on my test, I disliked,
This would be very helpful to me,
And I know you care, this I see! (Author's name withheld)
D. Fesler's the best
Outdoes all the rest
Kings fear he will do harm
But women love his magic charm! (Author's name withheld)
Oh how I yearn
For days of old
Where I could learn
just by listening to what was told
Now I must search
For ways to learn
Since instructors have to do research before
Our paper they return
One of these days
I hope to say
I got an A
An a job that pays. (Author's name withheld)
Dan is poetry in motion. (Author's name withheld)
TTU is nothing without Dan. (Author's name withheld).
SUMMER 2002 UNDERGRADUATE AUDITING CLASS:
"The Days of Dan"
(by Shannon and Shanda Gibbs)
Dan wakes and looks into the sky
Thinks to himself an accounting problem I should try
First I'll write the problem down
And, then I'll solve it without a frown
He took his calculator in his hand
And balancing assets is what he began
He rolled off balance sheets left and right
All through the day and all through the night
Through all the classes Dan goes a cruisin'
Cause through all the chapter he'd be perusin'
Tired he was, but he kept on
Until his pencil lead was almost gone
We know we are his biggest fans
Saying 1...2...3...Dan is the Man!!!!

Ode to Auditing
(by Jason Ledbetter)
During the Summer of 2002
Oh, how my knowledge of auditing grew
Early each morning from bed I would rise
And drink lots of coffee to wipe sleep from my eyes.
Then would come Dan,
The accounting man
With his wily antics
Each class began.
Tossing his book
And standing in chair
He spoke often of auditing
Rarely pausing for air.
And now its all over
The summer is done
Its been rough and tough
But I sure did have fun !!!!
- - - - - - -
Roses are red
Daisies are yellow,
Dan's kind of different
But a pretty good fellow. (Author’s
name withheld)

Dan,
Dan,
THE accounting man,
If anyone can talk,
Boy, he sure can !! (Author’s name
withheld)
- - - - - - - - - - -
Before this test I had an A
And if I could have it my way,
I would still have an A,
Oh happy day! (Author’s
name withheld)

SPRING 2005 UNDERGRADUATE AUDITING
CLASS:
Dr. Fesler is
loaded with class.
In his sleep, he recites all the GAAS.
Per my understanding,
His course is demanding.
If only his tests I could pass! (Author’s name withheld)
Dan lectures a lot in class, the verbage he uses is as clear as glass -
He doesn’t agree with some business
practices, where people pad numbers as with mattresses -
He has a problem with financial flaws, most likely because he’s in the ivory
halls –
For practicing auditors give some
leeway? At this Dan looks on in dismay –
Still, He gives good advice which we receive –
So that good CPAs, we will someday
be. (Author’s name withheld)
