Adventures in Undead Education

Little Dracula was a fool.

Little Dracula didn’t go to school.

His one weakness he could not surmount:

Little Dracula could not count.

K-5 Education

If you could just close your mouths

And let your feet be still

Your mind would find a sense of peace

And overflow with skill.

If you could keep your eyes on me

And your hands to yourself

You’d find your time so much more free

And your talent upper shelf.

If you could focus for a blink

And persevere a while

You’d all be smarter than you think

And make a teacher smile.

And yet as you deny these things

I’m please to end a day

When you can do a two-plus-two

And know that biting’s not ok.

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.

It Rhymes With Duck (And It’s One Of The Words Timmy CAN Spell)

Timmy was a troubled child

Who wouldn’t do his work.

When Timmy didn’t pass his class

His mom became a jerk

And met with Timmy’s principal:

“If Timmy doesn’t walk

“At graduation, your boss and I

“Will have a little talk.”

Well the principal’s salary

Is based on graduation rate

So he waived Timmy’s missing stuff

And got thanked by the state.

Timmy is a graduate.

The principal got paid.

Society got a synoym

For “screwed” and “loved” and “laid.”

Goldreck The Obtuse Didn’t Apply His Social Emotional Learning Outcomes

Today I learned in school

That everyone’s equally cool

So I wore my knickerbocker.

Now I’m cool inside my locker.

25% Success For 0% Study Time… A Good Tradeoff!

I was traveling on a train going 50 miles per hour

When another train passed by us going the other way

I wasn’t certain of its speed, origin, or destination

But I remembered what I learned in school and wisely noted, “A”

Discipline Solution Or Future Skynet? You Decide

Some people are scared of robots

But I think we should put them in school

Because people would grow up with them

And think they’re really cool

And if a not-a-robot kid

Would give the teachers sass

It’d be just fine to get them in line

By kicking a robot’s ass.

Mrs. Snyder Was Right

I know I shouldn’t have walked alone

Through the parking garage at night,

Especially when it’s very dark

And I am very white.

Some hoodlums did assail me

And called “Hands in the air!”

But I did not not obey them

And instead without a care

Reached deep inside my jacket

Where I keep my alto recorder

And I played the G Major scale

To restore the law and order.

And so the hoodlums left me

And I drove home just fine.

That’s why you pay attention in school.

Now what’s the log (base ten) of nine?

The Best Days Of My Life

When I was a kid in school

I was never very cool.

I was skinny like an elf

And ate my lunches by myself.

I though cool sticks were precious pearls;

I paid no mind to all the girls.

Looking back, I need to say

Why can’t I have all that today?
