Whose Fault Is it?

• The college professor said,
• Such wrong in the student is a shame,
• Lack of preparation in high school is to blame.

40

• Said the high school teacher,
• Good heavens, that boy is a fool. The fault, of
  course, is with the middle school.

41

• The middle school teacher said,
• From such stupidity may I be spared,
• They sent him
• to me so unprepared.

42

• The elementary teacher said,
• The kindergartners are block-heads all.
• They call it preparation why, its worse than
  none at all.

43

• The kindergarten teacher said,
• Such lack of training never did I see,
• What kind of mother must that woman be.

44

• The mother said,
• Poor helpless child, hes not to blame!
• For you see, his fathers folks are all the same.

45

• Said the father, at the end of the line,
• I doubt the rascals even mine?
