How To Praise a School Child
Don’t a school child give marks
It would be bold to despise:
The same thing as letting sharks
Acquire their teeth thrice!
You’re praise of kids to elicit sparks
That should ignite just the spice:
Where the child’s bicycle parks
Restricting others with a thrown dice
When the child begins to sing like larks
And you serving it streaming rice.
The Good Dog sure barks
After every reckless price …
So does many a docile child
By beginning to act wild.
