There Is a Ho In That Book

There is a ho in that book?
There is a HO in that book!
There is a HO in that BOOK!
The kids get all steamed up.
They jump out of their seats dancing and yelling.
I am a sub, from a small town in Iowa.
Where hoes are wholesome.
And they make gardens possible.
Chicago kids swiftly enlightened me.
