Michael Part One

The teacher asks a question
And every hand goes up
But one boy stares out of the window
At a family of ducks
Michael pay attention!
Every lesson here you spoil
With your constant day dreaming
Come here boy face the wall!
Every time a parent's evening comes
The same thing's always said
Michael must try harder
He lives inside his head
But Michael is a clever lad
He just doesn't care for school
So he pretends he's stupid
And always plays the fool
He goes about his business
Throughout the schooling day
When he gets home afterwards
Nothing stands in his way
He performs plays for his family
Acting every part
He reads stories he wrote himself
And shows his works of art.
