Our teacher, Mrs What’s-a-Name,
     Is loved, there is no doubt,
But her funny notices appear
     When no-one is about:

​

"Do not disturb me please," she wrote,
     "Unless you’re being sick!
Then leave the room immediately
     But come back pretty quick!"

​

Another notice on the wall
     Said: "Please don’t eat your shoes!"
Then: "Be quiet when I take my nap.
     Get on with what you choose."

​

Then someone noticed something else:
     Of not the usual sort:
"This year, just as an exercise,
     You can write your own report."

​

We noticed she was fast asleep,
     But knew just what she’d say:
"This afternoon’s your own free-time,
      So go on out and play."

​

Our Mrs What’s-a-Name’s all right
     And she never makes a fuss:
Our golden rule’s: "Don’t bother her
     And she’ll not bother us."
