Still the dunce turns up!
Lesson after lesson
Week after week
Term after term.
What has he learnt?
How to hold a book?!
He cannot be taught
So I only chastise.
But still the dunce turns up.
Will mockery **** him off?
No, the resilient peasant still turns up!
No great expectations have I of him
He only seems to leer at me
Yet plays the fool with others.
His grades a stubborn average.
To teach would be to encourage
But still the dunce still turns up!
