Going To School

I was walking on my way to school,
but along comes this fool!
He says to me,"I need money please!"
And crashes right down to the floor.
I give him 20 cents so he would go away,
but then he comes back for more!
I say to him "I need to go!"
Oh man I want to go home!
He kept on following me non-stop,
I said"That's it I'm calling the cops!
I dial the phone and ring the police,
Then this man says
"Can I help you please?"
I say"This guy won't stop following me!"
So I hang up my phone,
And this is a rule,
never go alone to school!
