The Slow Learner

School is super awesome

‘Cause you get to go to class

And get yelled at by the teacher

‘Cause you’re super full of sass

And you get to ride a yellow bus

And eat mystery meat

In a gym full of 400 kids

And 800 smelly feet.

You get to learn a lot of stuff

Like math and reading books

And people whisper behind your back

And give you funny looks

And they legally can’t kick you out

If you try hard not to pass

And yes, I’m 48-years-old

And never late for class.
