O for obedience, for which teachers shriek,
M for mistakes we make all the time,
M for the methods we think are a crime,
E for the errors we make when we type,
R is our rate, which is never quite right,
C for the callous we get from the seat,
I for ideas not very discreet,
A to abolish our shorthand distress,
L for the lessons we get in excess.
T for the trouble we have every day,
H for our hair which is going so gray,
R for the rules by which we abide,
E for exams we take in our stride,
E for excuses of which I have none,
B for the best poem that I have done.
