Miss, Can I Go to the Toilet Please?
When I'm bored, need a rest
Stuck on my spelling test
Or when a lesson has failed to impress
“Miss, can I go to the toilet please?”
When I'm sleepy and tired
Disengaged, uninspired
I raise my hand and politely enquire
“Miss, can I go to the toilet please?”
When I'm not sharp or keen
Want a quick change of scene
Wish to go somewhere to wander and dream
“Miss, can I go to the toilet please?”
When my focus is poor
Feeling anxious, unsure
I always try that reliable cure
“Miss, can I go to the toilet please?”
When the learning's bad news
I'm struck down with school blues
You know the perfect excuse that I choose
“Miss, can I go to the toilet please?”
But beware!
Yesterday
When I really, really, really, really did
Want to go to the toilet
Miss said “NO!
“You've already been five times today!”
