Smart Little Johnny
This story happened in one school
But … for God’s sake, keep cool,
it can't be taken as a rule.
Once when a teacher of math fell sick
A teacher of physical education came, named Nick.
He wanted to show how intelligent he is,
So he said: Solve my problem please!
-A car moves at a high speed.
To go to Spain a plane I need.
Can you tell me my age
If I read a book on the last page,
a peak is a trump
And I don’t know which way to jump?
-You are twenty six.-said Johny
-Your arms are scrawny
But brain is brawny.
How did you solve this problem so quick?
For me it’s easier to break a brick.
-Well, our neighbor being so sleazy is thirteen
And my mother says that he is a semi cretin.
