MY CLASSMATES

My classmates Theresa Trot had a snot Hanging from her nose She sniffs and snorts and swallows But Theresa never blows. Now it’s run down past her lips And settled on her chin Her teeth look really shiny When Theresa starts to grin. She sits next to Janice McManus Who`s bouncing around on one shoe It looks quite a feat as she hops to her seat As she`s stepped on a smelly dog poo. Barbara Bell said oh what’s that smell? As she covers her nose with her hand And Ryan O`Brien says schools not worth trying As his dads in a rock and roll band. Wee Ellie Kelly she`s got a sore belly She`s had crisps and chocolate for lunch They were to last her till Friday but to keep her desk tidy She sat down and ate the whole bunch. Big Billy Tilley who`s feeling quite silly With trousers half way up his shin And Riley McSmiley who`s gangly and Wiley He always wears a big grin. There`s wee Andy Davy who’s dads in the navy He sets every month out to sea And a wee boy called Sonny who really looks funny As he buzzes about like a bee. And young Jake McPake who had a pet snake He brought it to school once before We hid in the back as it slid out it`s sack And the teacher ran right out the door. Then there`s Mary McLairy who thinks she’s a fairy She hums and she whistles and sings She makes a wee wish and her wand goes swish swish And she flies on her shiny new wings. And wee Margaret McVitie who`s hands are all sticky From pastries and candy and cakes She crams too much in now it`s all on her chin And her tie is all covered in flakes. There`s Willie McFee who can climb any tree And he hangs from his feet like a monkey And wee Mickey Mare who`s got really nice hair And the girls all think he`s quite hunky. Then wee Harry Hanson who walks like he’s dancing He shuffles and glides in his shoes And wee Sarah Stark she`s so scared of the dark She still goes to the toilet in two`s. Then young Nigel Night who insists that he`s right When everyone knows that he`s wrong And wee Bernie Brammer who talks with a stammer But he says it just perfect in song. Wee Jimmy Holder who thinks he a soldier He marches and salutes everyone He sits next to Molly who plays with her dolly And sometimes he joins in for fun. And right up the back there`s Miss Construed She sits next to Miss Understood They`re always causing a commotion But both of them think they`re quite good. Then there’s Miss Ellaneous She wanders about everywhere She sits next to Miss Directed Who`s always hiding her chair. And Miss Represented she sits on her own She says that we don’t understand But she`s moving real soon to the front of the room Where Miss Guided can give her a hand. And I`m Fiona Fiddle I sit right in the middle I fidget and fuss as a rule And these are my friends who sit in my class And I think it`s the best in the school.
