Chaos ruled OK in the classroom
\nas bravely the teacher walked in
\nthe nooligans ignored him
\nhis voice was lost in the din<\/p>\n
‘The theme for today is violence
\nand homework will be set
\nI’m going to teach you a lesson
\none that you’ll never forget’<\/p>\n
He picked on a boy who was shouting
\nand throttled him then and there
\nthen garrotted the girl behind him
\n(the one with grotty hair)<\/p>\n
Then sword in hand he hacked his way
\nbetween the chattering rows
\n‘First come, first severed’ he declared
\n‘fingers, feet or toes’<\/p>\n
He threw the sword at a latecomer
\nit struck with deadly aim
\nthen pulling out a shotgun
\nhe continued with his game<\/p>\n
The first blast cleared the backrow
\n(where those who skive hang out)
\nthey collapsed like rubber dinghies
\nwhen the plug’s pulled out<\/p>\n
‘Please may I leave the room sir? ‘
\na trembling vandal enquired
\n‘Of course you may’ said teacher
\nput the gun to his temple and fired<\/p>\n
The Head popped a head round the doorway
\nto see why a din was being made
\nnodded understandingly
\nthen tossed in a grenade<\/p>\n
And when the ammo was well spent
\nwith blood on every chair
\nSilence shuffled forward
\nwith its hands up in the air<\/p>\n
The teacher surveyed the carnage
\nthe dying and the dead
\nHe waggled a finger severely
\n‘Now let that be a lesson’ he said<\/p>\n
