Timetable Mathematics: I know that two times two are four, To keep the tables straight, But working out percentages Are sums that I just hate. The dear old common fraction Knocks my brain right out of joint, And when studying the decimal I never see the point! History: To Britain Roman soldiers came And saw and conquered too, The History books extol the fame Of soldiers brave and trueg But when it comes to fixing dates In fickle schoolgirls minds, The teacher finds them all obsessed With dates of modern kinds! English: She teaches schoolgirls English So that they know what's what, If they speak up in the right place At exams they will not flop, She finds it hard convincing That aint', ain't, aint, it's not! Latin: The Roman people sure were smart This language for to speak, The very sight of Latin roots Drains colour from my cheek. Vocabularies written twenty times For mistakes made in our haste, As paper is expensive now, To me seems just a waste! Margaret Moore LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD 'Twas the day before Friday, And all through the class, Everyone lay sleeping, Their eyes were like glass. When into the room With a roar and a slam, Swept a Black-robed figure. His name was not Sam. He quietly crept, And with personal glee, Batted the sleepers With the stump of a tree. Which needless to say Woke them right quick. Their faces were grey, And their backs had a crick. Then quietly seated, And with meekness and charm, He began the next lesson By waving his arm. He called the first pupil, And asked him to say If Greece was in Rome, Or 'round the other way. JOHN MILNE WISH If I only had my wishes, Oh, wouldn't it be grand? If I only had my wishesg I would wish for all the land. I would wish for all the mountains, And I'd wish for all the seas, I would wish for all the rivers, And then ..... oh yes! The trees. And when I had procured these things, My next great wish would be, To erect a gracious temple To my God, in Persons ..... three. And when all this had come to pass, And all these things were done, I'd thank the Lord on bended knee, For earth: and moon: and sun. For all the creatures of the wood, The birds up in the air ..... For all the under-water life, I'd thank my true God there. And when my journey here is o'er, I'll have one wish to make. After getting all of these, All oceans, seas and lakes. . . And last of all my wishes, The greatest this would be! That I could spend some time with God. ---- 2. s. fo-.
