Why we have to study, is something I can't see. Study. Children. study. is what the teachers say. l7on't look up from your books again, or I will come your way. 'l'liey just get on my nerves at times, the same way with my buddy. Some day I'll throw my books at them, then Iill never have to study. If you don't get down to work, Mr. Pointer you will see. Oh gee, when I hear that, it's most too much for me, So I guess I'll have to study more, although I don't see why. I know I'll never like these books, no matter how I try.

'X' 'T I DON'T KNOW Of all the words'used every day, That students read or think or say, These words are used the most, oh woe. U For these words are, Oh, I don't know. Whatever little lad or lass, Is asked a question in the class, His mind turns out to be his foe, For his reply is, I don't know. Perhaps it is to parse a noun, Or translate sentences. row by row, But still the same old answer is, Am sorry, teacher. I don't know. Or how to do the problems, They may be asked to show, The answer never changes, They tell you, I clon't know. Or how to bake a cake or pie. Or what are barley, oats, and rye, Or how, this kind of stitch to sew, Their answer still is HI don't know. And if you don't believe me, Or think this thing is so, Then you had better try it, For really, I don't know. IPM!!-3 Sixty-twol ,
