i have never been a good student a good learner
but bless you teacher you have always been a good teacher
my lessons come hard i do not wish to learn 
yet you persist teaching on constantly reiterating lessons
i wander i daydream i am carried away by flits of whimsy
you teach on determined that this lesson will be learned
i see things my own way i rail against the knowledge
still you persist in instilling this knowledge to me
i question but why i think it should be this way
teacher you constantly remind me i do it all wrong
i beat my head against the wall this i do not comprehend
again you explain again you explain again you explain
i laugh i ignore i proceed to do things in my own manner
failure failure failure failure failure you begin again
i am learned in three subjects
you continue bestowing the fourth subject
ever so dimly i begin to see the light
teacher you plod on reminding reiterating repeating
i sit dutifully i acknowledge i recite the long taught lesson
teacher finally imparted the long taught lesson
teacher i have finally learned the lesson       
 i am stupid
