Why oh why must I be
Punished by this superfluity?
Tell me, sir, how old are we
To be treated with such a patronizing mien?
Day follows day, it is all the same thing!
If it does not end soon, I think I shall scream.
What is the purpose of this lesson?
What is the function of such repetition?
Is there a reason to this rhyme
Or are you just wasting our time?
Tell me, sir, if I am wasting my time.
