Ooh, they knew how to be naughty

Those rascally students of mine.

Take for example the droll tale

Of how spelling marks did decline.



Before ‘The Fall’, the marks were high-

All a good teacher could hope for-

Until one uncovered the truth

And the story became folklore.



These young folk had taken the list

That had been written on a chart,

Gone to the side of a cupboard

And taped it up, beside the art.



Well now, once that worked the first time

Of course they had to try again.

I, teacher, saw them craning necks-

This time it was really insane.



Up, up they looked at the ceiling

As every new word was pronounced

Those students weren’t very subtle

And at last I myself, announced



“Oh It was too good to be true

If only that were not the case!

All bad things must come to an end.

You , students, have fallen from grace!”
