The teacher of a third grade class always took the class roll call each morning and just to make it more interesting, he had the students all answer by reciting a short poem.
The first student who sat in the front row was a teachers pet. He stood up and said:
My name is Dan
And when I become a man
I would like to go to Japan
If I can and I think I can
The teacher congratulated Dan on his poem and updated the class register.
The next student was a little girl who sat in the middle of the room. She stood up and answered the roll call by stating:
My name is Suzy
And when I become a lady
I would like to have a baby
If I can and I think I can
The teacher congratulated Suzy also and updated the class register.
The next student on the list was Little Johnny, a smart guy who was sitting in the back of the room.
He stood up and said:
My name is Johnny
And I don’t give a darn about Japan
But I would like to help Suzy in her plan
If I can and I think I can!
The teacher was speechless…
