Classroom Blues

Classroom Blues

I sit in class and hear the clock
It talks to me, tick tock tick tock
The teacher keeps slowly talking on
So I try real hard not to yawn
But, alas, my yawn lets loose
Uh oh, I am one cooked goose!
Teacher calls my name out loud
Right in front of the classroom crowd!
My heart beats fast and fingers shake
But now I'm really wide awake
Up to the board I must go
To do some math that I don't know!
Everyone watches me write the number
Oh my goodness, don't let me blunder!
When I finish I stand awhile
But I see the teacher has a big smile
I was lucky and filled with fright
But somehow got the answer right
Boy, I sure did learn my lesson
To stay awake and count my blessings!
