As a teacher, just be prudent
And never underestimate the student,
Or grab them firmly by the throat if
Vengeance is your only motive.
When, with rage, you’re all a-quiver
Talk with him, or reason with her.

To get you riled is what they want
So try to act all nonchalant,
When they have acid-stripped the bonnet
Of your new car – reflect upon it.
You know you can’t ‘invade their space’
So ..... go and hire an unknown face

Who’ll neutralise these teenage muggers
Yes – take out contracts on the buggers!
They won’t take long to realise
With mates all dropping down like flies,
That they should be more circumspect
And show you teachers more respect.
