Perhaps already you’ve heard of his fame. Mr. Hooker, he eomes next Of all Ihe people that do vex. He may not be any millionaire But he sure is a questionnaire. Miss Cook, she’s tall and fat Cute and pretty—all like that. It would tickle anyone, you or me When she drawls out that “Believe Me.” Miss Cash, oh, don’t you know, Loves our Miss Cook so, Where you find her you find Miss Cook. No matter where you chance to look . Miss Woodson teaches you to talk in two different ways, One in the language we use every day, The other is Latin so they claim, And you have to translate in sunshine or rain. Miss Ellis, oh my dear, Her patience never quakes with fear, For she is kind and sweet And in history is hard to beat. Miss 11 liters, the youngest of all, Sweet, pretty and small. She teaches them how to keep books Without being, what we call, crooks. Miss Breen, best of cooks, Knows more than is found in books; Has a mind quite all her own, For her originality she is known.
