Analysis of Rough Time



If I had to choose teacher of the year,
and it had to be a teacher from here,
I would have a rough time
So many on my mind
There is Vorhies
and Clayton
and Mooney
and Hendricks.
I'll add my time
to my appendix.
Well, I'm sure you don't care
about my time that isn't fair
So I will go now and
leave you alone
I think I hear my teacher saying
"time to go home!"
