The early poems of John Clare | ||
A SCHOOL BOYS WIT
Go Silly Brains the Master saidTo one who'd misd a Letter
A Dunces Cap shall fit your head
If you dont do no better
‘Boy instant upward cast his eye
On's masters nodle winking
The Master ask'd the Reason why
Why sir says he Im thinking
213
To save ye farther trouble
It would when once your hand is in
Be best to make a couple
