MS. VALENTINE (by Liam Davis)
Dear Mrs. T
Welcome to Lake Forest, Illinois
It's such a joy (she said)
To have Erica in class with me
I really must say how much
I enjoy her company, but...
Dear Mrs. T
Even though I understand
Your husband's on TV
Call it intuition a condition
Is arousing my suspicion
As a trained arithmetician
Well it simply does not compute
She's guessing, she's probably guessing...
Maybe she's cheating, cheating...
F Ms. Valentine x4
Dear Mrs. T
I understand you didn't make it
All the way to college like me
But really it is simply public knowledge you see
A child from the South Side
The outside is automatically unqualified
She can't hang
It's the order of the universe
It's ying yang
And so although the way
She comes at every problem
Makes it easier to solve them
I simple have no choice
In remedial...math
She's guessing, she's probably guessing...
Maybe she's cheating, cheating...
F Ms. Valentine x4...
