The Lunch Lady Is the Reason I'M Not At School

We used to have a lunch lady
who was so very mean.
She was also very ugly,
and she was never clean!

She was hairy as a monkey!
Revolting as a skunk!
And unlike typical ladies,
she really, really stunk!

So I talked to my principal
about her horridness.
He had her replaced soon enough
and oh, what a huge mess!

Her food was pretty disgusting
and so I didn’t strive
The horrid octopi she made
when mine was still alive!

It went and crawled out of my bowl;
but then bit off my head!
So that’s my excuse for staying
at home and not being in school instead.

Good grief. She was there when I went to high school in the 60's. Tuna fish on hot dog rolls.
