The Generation Game by Phil Burns
AnElephantCant really stop laughing
He goes back to school for a day
He is all excited
At being invited
The kids want to hear what he has to say
In a class of 30 7-year olds
He is given a bit of a grilling
They think he is dumb
But he has such fun
The whole visit is wonderfully thrilling
He tells how he approaches his writing
Just pour it out don’t stop to think
Get it all onto paper
Then correct it later
They ask him what if you write in ink
- AnElephant and some smart folk
There are many insightful questions
Like are you really so old
Do you have a daughter
Do you know Harry Potter
Why is ice cream so cold
He talks about Scott and Stevenson
They all know about Robert Burns
To a Haggis To a Mouse
Tam O’Shanter To a Louse
These children all talk and he learns
The idea is to bring interesting people
To explain to the class what they do
A violin teacher an engineer
A chiropractor oh dear
How on earth did AnElephant slip through

AnElephant goes back to school after many years
He goes there, to talk and to Learn
Chatting to kids in a primary
And all their questions, cor blimary
But they all know Rabbie Burns

I was a teacher for 33 years. Hmmm. Do you think that is why I never got invited ?
