LEARNING
1 wonder why it seems the rule To learn such stupid things at school: Just how to read and how to spell, And how to say your tables well, And how to write and how to sing? It really seems a funny thing To learn what you don’t want to know At school. I wish I needn’t go! Now, Daddie tells me proper things: , He knows each bird by. the way it sings, And all their diff’rent nests as well, There is not one he cannot tell. He finds out where wild-flowers grow,. And all the things you want to know. If school taught me like that each day, I’d never want to stay away.
