I didn’t do too well
in school
I must have been
some kind of fool
I made it through by
just a crack
Came in the front
and out the back
In Math they asked, “What’s
X times Y”
I didn’t know and
wondered why
They’d ask a thing
like that of me
I even flunked “What’s
2 times 3”
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 teach said, “D.B.,
you should
“Describe Columbus
to me 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”
