O, Boil the little buggers in a syrup made of lye That'll teach them not to chatter when the news is on at five. That'll teach them not to chatter That'll teach them not to sing That'll teach the little buggers not to do annoying things! O, Skin the little buggers with a blade made out of tin That'll teach them not to stay out when they should be staying in. That'll teach them not to stay out That'll teach them not to whine That'll teach the little buggers that they'd better toe the line. O, Beat the little buggers with a frying pan on fire That'll teach them not to argue when they should be jumping higher That'll teach them not to argue That'll teach them not to zoom That'll teach the little buggers not to have a messy room. O Boil, O Beat, O Skin, O Beat, O Beat, O Skin, O Boil The task of loving children doesn't follow Rules of Hoyle The task of loving children, O The task that makes us swear The task of loving children is to teach them that we care!

OUCH! Well written... perfect flow. I know a few teachers that would laugh at this. The sad part is that some people believe this to be so. Peace! |
