Upon The Arrival Of The New Student

Dear New Student,
You arrived in my class
And decided to pass
On the work that was set
For the rest of them and yet
You decide it's beneath you
Which, probably, is true
But not in the way
You laugh and say
"Errr, I dont think so".

Ok, New Student,
I'll lay this down clear,
In case you didn't hear
The instructions I gave
About the way to behave
In my class.

You do NOT answer back
You do NOT crack
Any wise jokes for the joy
Of the boy
Sat next to you.
You do NOT take your phone
Out of it's home;
Your pocket, where it belongs.
You do NOT chat
Or flit like a gnat
Around my room
Or ELSE your doom
Will be fast approaching.
If you want to belong,
Then dont be wrong,
Be right.
And behave.

Well, New Student
I've got news that seems prudent
To tell you, for your sake
That if you continue to take
The piss out of me
Then, New Student,
You will learn the definition of detention
In all its forms.

For you are the New Student.
And this is MY Classroom.
