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
