Why Teachers Get Gray
An original
comment on school life by an imaginary pupil.
Deer Teechur,
I thot I Wood
rite wot me and my Budde (buddy) think about school.
School is Zoll Bunk (all the bunk) ! I am allus Happe
(happy) when recess cumz. Oney ya allus ring the Bell to
soon. Effie (if we) only had school two hours a day it
wood be swell.
You Phyllis
(fill us) full a' Histr'y which is awful dry. You are
allus Picket (picking) on me and Mildred - and thet
Gertrude and Velma laffs all the time. Tain't fair! As
Shakespeer sez, "Laff n' the class laffs with ya, but
you stay after school alone."
You allus say
Clarence 'n me should oughta warsh our Haines (hands).
Gee wiz, dirt is good fer a fella. Woelffer (well for)
instance in the book it says thet ya eat a peck a' dirt
in yer life - n' I guess the book oughta be right!
N'other thing,
you sed I tawk like a Polly Parrot - n' that Irene
whispers all the time. Ya never say things to her.
If I wuz
teechur, I'd have recess fer an hour - n' let school
our at three o'clock. Ya could whizper n' chew gum to, -
n' there'd be no Speelin' nor Rithmetc a' tall. And we
could go fishin' when the fish are bitin'.
Girls is a
noosance. Ila allus makes me put on my rubbers, and
Lucilla allus callz me Skinny - n' they cry when
ya' pull there hair.
If yew wood
pleez considur these her ideaz, I think school wood be
better.
Respecfully
yers,
Willyum
