Elementary Grades
By Franklin Price
5/3/2016

Elementary grades took  long to come
Could not wait to get me some
Five other siblings went before
So I knew a little of the score

Was not supposed to talk all day
Recess the time to yell and play
Grades were “E” and “S” and “U”
The last not good, strove for the two

Grades were given to perform
The “S” was good and was the norm
The “E” was over and above
The “U” not even mom could love

Then “N” was thrown into the mix
A grade that we could try to fix
The “N” improvement needed there
A second chance was more than fair

For attendance, conduct and learning work
On reporting cards these grades did lurk
I worked real hard, did well on two
For conduct my talking got a “U”

The teacher said, “who's talking there?”
I knew if I told she'd make me care
To protect  myself I could not tattle
My butt might get the corporal paddle

Wasn't long 'til I wasn't loud
Talked quietly within the crowd
And when the year end bell did ring 
Had “E” or “S” for everything

Was not that smart but listened well
To learn what teachers had to tell
As for the conduct, I'll tell you what
I never enjoyed a paddled butt.
