Re: Elem poem needed

I heard it as a joke, not a poem:

Go To School...
>
> A Mother was having a hard time getting her son to go
> to school in the morning.
>
> "Nobody in school likes me," he complained.
>
> "The teachers don't like me, the kids don't like me,
> the superintendent wants to transfer me, the bus
> drivers hate me, the school
> board wants me to drop out, and the custodians have it
> in for me. I don't want to go to school."
>
> "But, John, you have to go to school," said her mother
> sternly. "You're healthy, you have a lot to learn, you
> have something to
> offer others, you are a leader. And besides, you're 40
> years old and YOU'RE THE PRINCIPAL."
