Let the children in our care
Clean their shoes and comb their hair;
Come to school on time- and neat
Blow their noses and wipe their feet.
Let them, lord, not eat in class
Or rush into the hall en masse.
Let them show some self-cotrol;
Let them slow down; let them stroll!
Let the children in our charge
Not be violet or large;
Not be sick on the school-trip bus,
Not be cleverer than us;
Not be unwashed, loud or mad,
(with a six-foot mother or a seven-foot dad).
Let them, please, say 'drew' not drawed';
Let them know the answers, lord!
I saw this poem in school and it was really funny!
