I can’t get today the right way up,
I went to bed at dawn,
but the teacher woke me in the night,
and asked where I had gone.
I said, I woke at dusk,
got dressed and went to school.
That explains who broke my window,
and covered my desk in drool.
I fell to my knees and pleaded,
I swear it wasn’t me.
Of course it was you, my teacher said,
that much is clear to see.
I got up and looked,
at the fury in her eyes,
Oh fury, I said, I thought
I had a likely demise.
You don’t my teacher said,
Oh no please miss!
There will be no punishment
and with that I was dismissed
