They make me recite on subjects I know nothing aboutg They often put me on the honorless rollg They expose my ignorance. They make me to take examinations for their own sake, Yea, though I cram all night in the shadow of an electric light, I shall surely flunk them, for thou has ne pity Thy rod and thy work don't comfort me. Thou preparest a report card in the presence of mine parents. Thou has annointed my head with a dunee cap. M heart runneth over. Surely ignorance and procrastination shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the school building forever.
