The Foreign Student
The Foreign Student
By Elton Camp
Ahamed’s command of English wasn’t so good
But to make a fine impression, he did all he could
He walked up to one of his professors in the hall
It was the South, so he nicely said, “Howdy y’all.”
“To be a member of your class is a great delight.
I overheard some students praise you last night.”
“They said you’re so smart, you don’t have to try.
It just comes naturally for you to be a wise guy.”
