We all had teachers we

Hated.

In my day hair and ears got tugged

Chalk thrown with intent but

Teachers are not meant to be

Loved.

There's a new teacher in class

He doesn't shout

Or impose detentions or

Send you to the headmaster, he's

Even scarier than old Mr Walsh (and

He was a terror),

Laboriously

Knocking sense into us

Day by day with

Facts and figures you can't deny

LIke any self-respecting teacher should.

You might hate him

You will hate him but

Keep your head down, for, remember,

He needs no cane
