The Boring Teacher

The Boring Teacher By Elton Camp Coach Lindsey is an ignorant creep Who puts all of his students to sleep Sports is the only thing that he knows Yet, into the history classroom he goes He doesn’t know how people did live And a coherent lecture he can’t give He can’t tell one Adams from another Thinks LBJ is Andy Johnson’s brother That Teddy Roosevelt was after FDR And that Jefferson drove an Edsel car That the War of 1812 was against Spain And that WW II saw sinking of the Maine Believes Adolf Hitler was the head of Japan And that Ben Franklin for president ran The Constitution of the newly-formed nation Confuses with the Emancipation Proclamation Gettysburg Address is where the president lives The Bill of Rights a listing of expenses gives And yet, tenure good Coach Lindsey has got So it doesn’t matter if he is ignorant or not
