How shall I deal with roger, Mrs. Prodger?
I’ve never yet been able
to sit him at a table
And make him paint a label
for the salmon in the kindergarten shop.
But he’s full of animation
When I mention a dictation
And he never wants a spelling test to stop.
I’ve encouraged self-expression
And intentional digression
But I think I’ll have to let the system drop.
for the non-nal child, like roger,
is a do-er, not a dodger,
And your methods, Mrs. Prodger, are a flop.
how shall I deal with roger, Mrs. Prodger?
I’ve had projects on the fairies,
on markets, shops and dairies;
I’ve had projects on the prairies,
But the little fellow doesn’t want to play:
instead, he has a yearning
for unreasonable learning,
And wants to do arithmetic all day.
he shows a strong proclivity
for purposeless activity,
And doesn’t want experience in clay.
so I rather think that roger
is a do-er, not a dodger,
And how would you deal with roger, can you say?
