Relieved
On Friday our teacher was sick with a fever
and wretched Miss Bosby was sent to relieve her.
The meanest most serious teacher at school -
It turned out Miss Bosby was terribly cool.
She told funny stories and taught us new games,
She didn’t set homework and learned all our names,
She never got cross even when we were slack -
And now I don’t want Miss McMann to come back!
and wretched Miss Bosby was sent to relieve her.
The meanest most serious teacher at school -
It turned out Miss Bosby was terribly cool.
She told funny stories and taught us new games,
She didn’t set homework and learned all our names,
She never got cross even when we were slack -
And now I don’t want Miss McMann to come back!
