I have to say with words I play so much it ires some peeps
But those that like to listen still are my friends for keeps
Whilst back in school my rhymes did rule too much from time to time
In English class acceptable but in History t'was viewed a crime

 

One day we had to tell the tale of Henry and his wives
But I was bored and pepped it up with a few comic asides
So when the teacher came to read some pink suffused his face
And I was asked to stay behind and rectify this big mistake

 

Without the rhymes the words did drag but as I had missed the bus
I carried on quite slow and neat until the teacher made a fuss
Well you simply cannot bend the rules in such Grammar schools
And so the mark I got for the work could have insulted all the fools
