I rise to make this short oration,

Without the least equivocation,

Or any false exaggeration,

And hope to win your approbation—

If not your warmest admiration.

I want to make a revelation,

Just for the sake of exultation,

Without a long enumeration,

In reference to education;

For, since our school association

We feel a high appreciation

Of teachers’ kind administration.

Whate’er may be our destination,

We’ll have the pleasing consolation

Of living in high estimation

With all our teachers, in relation

With every day’s assimilation.

I hope you’ll have the penetration

To see this is my own creation,

And quite a novel adaptation.

Please pardon the conglomeration,

For I’m scared like all the nation,

Therefore accept my resignation.
