"My teacher told me..."
My teacher told me, “when you nod,
I know you’re paying attention,”
but when I nodded off, I got
an undeserved detention.
Now tell me, daddy, who’s at fault, -
I did just what she told me.
What gives her any right at all,
to punish me and scold me?
I’ll serve my time and I will not
do what I know is wrong,
but if she tells me I should nod,
should I not nod along?
