Why though



Don't strike peoples poems down
It makes many people sad
Doing it makes you look like a clown

When you look at the poems and frown
It may someone like paul mad
Don't strike peoples poems down
 
So many people have found
That the people who are truly Chads
Doing it makes you look like a clown

Some teachers who are the most renown
Are some who are good lads
Don't strike peoples poems down

You shouldn’t strike poems to the ground
Doing so is bad
Doing it makes you look like a clown

This is a issue that is profound
Of making poems not plaid
Don't strike peoples poems down
Doing it makes you look like a clown
