What I've Learned at School

What I've Learned at School

by Robert Pottle

At school I’ve learned a lot of things

I really like to do,

like running in the hallway

and eating gobs of glue.

I’ve learned I’m good at making pencils

dangle from my nose.

I’ve learned to hum and pop my gum.

I practice, and it shows.

I’ve learned I like to cut in line

and love to cut the cheese.

I’ve learned to fake a burp, a cough,

and even fake a sneeze.

You’d think with all this learning

I’d be doing well in school,

but everything I learn to do

appears to break a rule.
