OH, TEACHER, DEAR TEACHER. fVVith apologies to NValt Whitmanj I. Oh, teacher, dear teacher, I fear 1ny brain is gone, I study and study and nothing else gets done, Exams are near, loud groans I hear, The teachers are exultant, While follows on the steady grind, on and on and on, Oh, mind, mind, mind, The gray cells are exhausted. My books lie open on the desk, My feeble hopes are blasted. II. Oh, teacher, dear teacher, lVhat are my grades, do tell? A ninety! I'll serve you very well, For you bouquets and candies, for you the pupils shouting, For you they eall the noisy kid, their sad spirits mounting. Here teacher, dear teacher, Your seold rings in my ear, You saved me from an awful death, My school mates could not bear. III. My teacher does not hear me, she is obdurant still, She does not heed my pleading, it goes against her willg The awful exam questions, their voyage safely run, From fear and trembling Ild be delivered if were my eause but won. lflxulte ye teachers, ring your bells, While I with mournful tread Will walk the floor where my dear hopes Iiie frozen cold and dead. MAR4sAR1-:'r LEXVIS, l25.
