Rap it in, tap it in, What are teachers paid for? Strap it in, slap it in, "What are children made for? Ancient archaeology, Aryan philology, Prosody, hoology. Physics, clinictology, Calculus and mathematics. Rhetoric nnd hydrostatics. Hoax it in, coax It in. Children's heads are hollow.
Scold It In. mould It In. - • ■ AH that they can swallow; Fold it In, hold It in, Still there's more to follow; Faces pinched and sad and pale Tell the same undying tale, Tell of moments robbed from sleep, Meals untasted, studies deep. Those who've passed the furnacethrough, With aching brow will tell to you How the teacher crammed it In, Rammed it in, Jammed it in, Pressed it in, and caressed it in, Rapped it in and slapped It In, When their heads were hollow. .
