Pantaloope the Wise and Wonderful
Pantaloope the pink dinosaur was puffy and proud
She was quiet though, shy, not terribly loud.
Does not show ignorance like dumb students do the day through.
They yell and scream and insist on their way as imbeciles do.
You can see that Pantaloope the Dinosaur has a smart brain.
She can sit quietly, and let others talk in snow, wind or rain.
She is a polite listener, and she does not interrupt you.
She shows her wisdom in so many ways daily before she’s through.
Other dinosaurs are yelling when the teacher tries to talk.
The principal is called, and they have to go on a little walk.
Pantaloope the Dinosaur never has to leave the classroom.
She is hailed as a leader in person and on Zoom.
