It’s a real story that happened in one school

when a teacher appeared  to be a complete fool.

Once when a teacher of math was sick

a teacher of physical education came, named Nick.

He wanted to show how intelligent he is,

so he said: Solve my problem please!

The car moves at a high speed.

To go to Spain a plane we need.

How old am I if the plane now is high in the sky?

If to take all these tasks and mix – said smart Johnny,

We’ll get the result: You are twenty six.

Right you are Johnny!

Your arms are scrawny but brain is brawny.

How did you solve this problem so quick?

For me it’s easier to break a brick.

Well, our neighbor being so sleazy is thirteen

And my mother says that he is a semi cretin.
