NO ANSWERBy Patrick Davis (C)2007 |
Some say the mighty science project Is the single greatest subject With experiments and display board Children can strike the right chord Others say the occasional math test Brings out the especially best Nothing more challenging to do Can we find in all the entire school Some are quite weird teachers Who like odd and silly features They want the wonderful essay With which to have the children play But others say no, it's not writing In front of the class have them reciting Memory is by far the greatest thing It will make their voices ring Others say it is in the melody If you can find the right key Singing they say is the best to learn Ringing sweet chimes is naught to spurn Still others say it is the art Crafts galore make a great start Grab the crayons, markers, and paper, Dab with the paste, glue, and glitter Other teachers say novels to read Is by far the best deed Collecting favorite author's books Selecting monsters, heroes, and crooks But all the children do say We know a much better way Telling one more fine thing Selling what we want to sing Something forgotten by you One thing we really like to do One subject with us does ring true It never leaves us being blue No teacher is all that smart On this subject with them we part Must it finally be confessed Trust us- recess is the very best |
You picked up a phone to dial To give my number a trial An answer you did not find Perhaps it came while we dined You might try in awhile Or leave a memo in my file
By the way, if you are in sales I am one of those males On the nasty and brutish list Calling me gets you dissed And selling me always fails
But if you are my friend You can be sure I will bend, Hearing what you have to say And return as soon as I may A reply to answer and send
If you are one of our daughters Mom's not here though you sought her But she will soon reply She always hears your cry Just as you both have taught her
So you know the dang drill With the tone give your spill With your tongue speak clearly We want to hear you dearly So make it a good mo-dill |
