The Damaging Testimonial of Billy Burn

To whom it may concern, Wishing to more learn About the bearer, our ex-student, He was a Great Sympathizer of ‘The Imprudent’… Worldly wise and to a fault bright, He was to become a familiar sight In nearby restaurants selling African Salad And European marmalade; For both, often parting with four British pounds The former sometimes ordering in mounds… Was seldom appearing in our school uniform, For which we did his guardian inform; His craving for muftis of a shouting colour, Besides the unusually paler… Continually would laugh at his notebooks And, not once, fleeing from his textbooks All their pages dying to be opened But in return childishly roughened… Till date, not conquered by a fresh-smelling cane; Rather only once cried to cowhide’s pain… Just the Mount Everest he hopes to ascend some day And from it's peak pick what would him well pay We’ve, you can see, ENJOYED Billy Burn And now it is your more fortunate turn!
