Please Mrs Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps copying my work, Miss.
What shall I do?
Go and sit in the hall, dear.
Go and sit in the sink.
Take your books on the roof, my lamb.
Do whatever you think.
Please Mrs Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps taking my rubber, Miss.
What shall I do?
Keep it in your hand, dear.
Hide it up your vest.
Swallow it if you like, love.
Do what you think best.
Please Mrs Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps calling me rude names, Miss.
What shall I do?
Lock yourself in the cupboard, dear.
Run away to sea.
Do whatever you can, my flower.
But don't ask me!
I love this poem when i was a kid, and it still makes me laugh now!
An amusing story of most children's memory of school days
Humorous poem. I'm glad I never had a teacher like Mrs. Butler. All of my teachers were caring and efficient. That's one of the reasons I became a teacher.
A humorous poem--A teacher's task is really tough, when every now and then the students come up with complaints and the teacher has to manage and discipline them along with her other tasks.
