Educationalists' Demands
Educationalists' Demands.
"Some to whom Heav'n in wit has been profuse,
Want as much more to turn it to its use."—Pope.
Things we know
Were long ago.
We want more screw;
Just see how hard we work!
If you but knew
How much some people shirk
Then you would see
(And surely then you'd agree!)
We've kept on teaching and still are preaching
page 25
Pitched overboard,
We thank the Lord.
We want more cash,
And we want it right now,
Else we go smash
And to the big bow-wow!
Now, see here, Ward,
We really cannot afford
You more trips
On ships
Without a rise in our pay.
