There once was a
pretty good
student,
Who sat in a pretty
good
class
And was taught by a pretty
good
teacher,
Who always let pretty
good
pass.
He wasn't terrific at reading,
He wasn't a whiz-bang at math;
but for him education was leading
Straight down a pretty
good
path.
He didn't find school too exciting,
but he wanted to do pretty well,
and he did have some trouble with writing
and nobody taught him to spell.
When doing arithmetic problems
pretty good
was regarded as fine.
Five plus five needn't always add up to be ten,
a pretty
good
answer was nine.
The pretty good
class that he sat in
was part of a pretty
good
school,
and the student was not an exception,
On the contrary, he was the rule.
The pretty good
school that he went to
Was in a pretty
good
town.
And nobody seemed to notice
He could not tell a verb from a noun.
The pretty good
student in fact was
Part of a pretty
good
mob.
And the first time he knew what he lacked was
when he looked for a pretty
good
job.
It was then, when he sought a position,
He discovered that life could be tough,
and he soon had a sneaky suspicion
pretty good
might not be good enough.
The pretty good
town in our story
was part of a pretty
good
state,
which had pretty
good
aspirations,
and prayed for a pretty
good
fate.
There once was a pretty
good
nation,
pretty proud of the greatness it had,
which learned much too late
if you want to be great,
pretty good
is, in fact, pretty bad. |
