If I were a teacher
there'd be nothing but fun
and all the we do would be out in the sun

We'd add up the birds
and divide all the snails
we'd multiply the possums
and subtract all their tails

We'd read the weather
and spell all the bees
We'd draw all the insects
which ever you please

We can feel the grass
between our toes
as we learn
how nature grows

With children playing
outside in the sun
thanks to mother nature
our lessons are done
