Settle Down
Shy, timid, quiet, bashful, meek
World is reserved for another geek.
Yes, I can fool them, that’s for sure,
Pretending to be all sweet and demure.
But then my real self kicks in.
I jump my desk, promptly begin.
Principal comes to make me stop.
A policeman comes and makes me drop.
They all say this with a gigantic frown.
You’re the teacher, now settle down!
