Ding Dong School

Ding Dong School
was decidedly uncool
~ unhip even back in the day

Now ding dongs are snacks
Or students, who brains lack 
   They're always wrong
   Those poor ding dongs



"Ding Dong School" aired on
TV from 1952-1956.  It was
incredibly "1950-ish." The
headmistress, Miss Frances, 
a homely spinster, actually
rang a bell to start each show...

Really?! and I thought that I was the last ding-dong standing! -- At least I don't carry a bell around with me. LOL. Thank you so much for weighing in on this one, Jan, and for your support. ~ Gershon
