The Merchant of Venice Has Gone Missing From My Classroom Shelf

Now, I suspect the economics teacher But he suspects me and The case goes on into the term As we gently move From one story to another But I've got all the other plays, so they look good Break time and lunch time Offer time for time to call witnesses Or suspects one by one They file in looking confused and disconcerted Like ordering a sandwich in a trench coat Tripping out and seeing floating cheese I'm trying to engage in a conversation I'm trying to teach with a blocked ear Zedonks and why IKEA has no windows That play's rubbish anyway.
