Mockingbird Schools

Hush, little children, don’t you mind.

Bush will leave no child behind.

POLiTICians know schools the best—

EduCAtion means taking a standard test.

If your school tests are too low,

Ed-u-ca-tion funds won’t flow.

More books, equipment, teacher pay,

Would just be throwing money away.

If kids test at the top of the pool,
They can go to a private school.

Hush, little children, don’t say a word,

Congress is giving you the bird.

(Speak) And that mockingbird won’t sing!
