First Grade
Ive spent half my day getting Billy to talk
The other half stopping him eating the chalk
Tod seems to like wearing large baby-grows
While Ellie is pushing some crayons up her nose
Timmy’s packed lunch is just chocolate and juice
Kate’s nose is dripping with something that’s puce
While Marty and Mo fly their make believe brooms
Sounds like they’ve been at the magic mushrooms
I know it’s the first day at school for this bunch
Perhaps they’ll calm down once they’ve all had their lunch
but Barry is only just moving to solids
So why DO we take teachers straight out of college
