I Don'T Like School
One monday morning getting ready for work
and drinking my last cup of tea
everything seemed to be making me late
but that's not unusual for me,
then in walked my Son with a look on his face
that was neither happy or sad
sat down at the table and looked straight at me
and then he sinply said, "Dad"
I don't like school anymore
the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore
I've been going since I was four
but I don't want to go anymore.
Now this problem was more inportant than work
It had to be sorted out now
I can easily see his point of view
but I have to change his mind somehow,
I don't think he's saying just what he means
though his idea is not really bad
so I asked him if he would explain it to me
but he just looked at me and said ,"Dad"
I don't like school anymore
the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore
I've been going since I was four
but I don't want to go anymore.
I don't think I can make him understand
that he really must go to school
or he'll break the law that the government made
education is the golden rule,
he seemed much better when I told him that
school wasn't really that bad
then he got up to go,turned to me with a smile
and simply said to me,"Dad"
I don't like school anymore
the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore
I've been going since I was four
but I don't want to go anymore.
