HEADMASTER DAVID
By
WHIM WHAM
Mr Lange’s taking the education portfolio showed the Government was capable of ‘lateral thinking.’ — Mr Peter Allan, president of the Post-Primary Teachers’ Association. ‘Lateral.. of, at, towards, from, the side .... lateral thinking, seeking to solve problems by unorthodox or apparently illogical methods’ ... — Concise Oxford Dictionary. For Lateral Thinking (or Thought) We need Lateral Thinkers — Sideways People who can see all Sides, Not People with Blinkers. Not mainstream People, but People Off the Beaten Track — With two Eyes in each Side of their Heads, instead Of the Front, or the Back: On the one Hand — on the Other — Through the Hedge, over the Fence, With Case-lots of Written Submissions, Who minds the Expense? We’re a Lateral-minded Nation — Laterally educated— Sir, how Vertical were YOUR Thoughts When you last cerebrated? Lateral Thinking is trying Anything on, for Size — Alternative This, alternative That — Tick, whichever applies! What shall we teach? Just more Of the Same, and faster — With longer and funnier Speeches the new Headmaster?
