The Principal Was Never My Pal
The Principal Was Never My Pal
By Elton Camp
The memory aid that the principal is your pal
Distinguishes from principle to each boy & gal
That was a good enough way spelling to recall
But it didn’t fit my view of the principal at all
To me he was nothing but a frightful fiend
Who, when I misbehaved, would intervene
I even tried to avoid meeting him in the hall
Because I didn’t want any interaction at all
To avoid and fear him there was reason why
He always had a most evil gleam in his eye
It was obvious that he took intense delight
In punishing any kid who didn’t act right
Waiting outside the principal’s office door
Was the thing in school I did most abhor
That fellow was never any type pal to me
But an ogre who would give the 3rd degree
