He sits there in a daze

Stares out the window

He doesn't pay attention

He burps aloud and gets detention

Sits in the chair and falls asleep

The teacher calls on him

He guesses the answer

The teacher says, no

And the students laugh

He is the clown, but he is not funny

At the end of the day he earns an "E"

This is his life ... what will he be?
