Turning the Tables
If you don't learn your times tables,
You may end up cleaning out stables,
Or waiting on tables.
If you are not able to read,
You won't have to worry about greed,
And for Aesop's Fables you won't see the need.
If you never learn to write,
Your mail may be a bit light,
And job opportunities slight.
If we don't give you the opportunity to learn,
So, you can earn,
Building jails, will be what more of us will need to learn.
