(Another) School Daze

I didn’t do real well in school

I must have been some kind of fool

I made it through my just a crack

Went in the front door and out the back

In Math they asked “What’s X times Y?”

I didn’t know and wondered why

They’d ask a think like that of me

I even flunked what’s two times three

The Latin teacher said, “D.B.

Can you translate ‘puer’ for me?”

I said, “I think that must mean ‘glass’”

That sent me to the foot of the class

In History I didn’t do real good

The teacher said, “D.B., you should

Describe Columbus, if you can”

I didn’t even know the man

So here I am, still wondering why

They wanted to know “What’s X times Y?”

D.B.C.
