#107 – The New Kid in Class (in Color)

The New Kid in Class
Stop, dog. You are a dog, and this book is WAY above your reading level.

The New Kid in Class

Must be some kind of joke, I suppose,
but the truth I would like to expose:
take a look as his cold, soggy nose…
The new kid in class is a dog!

This is someone’s idea of a goof
I suppose, though I haven’t got proof,
’cause he answered the teacher with “woof”.
The new kid in class is a dog!

There is no one who hears what I wail,
but the truth, I am sure, will prevail.
Can’t you see that he’s wagging his tail?
The new kid in class is a dog!

How’d he get in our class anyhow?
Dogs are something that schools don’t allow.
I was head of the class until now…
The new kid in class is a dog.
