CRY OF THE CRAMMERS Hygiene and history, Asiatic mystery, Algebra, histology, Latin etymology, Botany, geometry; Ram it in and cram it in, Children’s heads are hollow. Scold it in, mold it in, All that they can swallow, Fold it in, hold it in, Still there’s more to follow. Faces pasty, pinched and pale, Tell the plaintive, piteous tale; Tell the hours robbed from sleep, Robbed from meals for studies deep, All who twixt these mile-stones go Tell the selfsame tale of woe. How the teacher crammed it in, Rammed it in, jammed it in, Crunched it in, punched it in, Rubbed it in, clubbed it in, Pumped it in, stumped it in, Rapped it in, slapped it in, When their heads were hollow.
