Round Colored Pegs
On small chubby legs ---
I placed round colored pegs ---
Into a flat brown wooden board ---
Doing it the regimental way made me bored ---
Red, yellow and orange, on through ---
Is the teacher's point of view ---
Not at all of a five year old ---
Who's opinions seems too bold ---
So this teacher slapped my face ---
Although I did try to plead my case ---
And as the tears trickled down like hot coal ---
An unremovable scar was placed upon my soul.
