Thou shall not teach

Thou shall not teach!
The excuses are piling up
Broken wrist, broken leg, broken foot.

Thou shall not teach!
Weather willing
Tracks and roads are flooded.

Thou shall not teach!
Losing so many friends
We meet at funerals.

Thou shall not teach!
Have to look after childrens' children
Family in hospital.

Thou shall not teach!
Sickness is taking its toll
As winter rolls in.

Thou shall not teach!
They move away
Holidays are calling

Thou shall no teach!
No worries Thou
My students aren't turning up!
