Rhyme Time

A poem containing as man ingenious rhymes as possible


Oh Mister Gove, how quick and slick you are

To spot the rot in things curricular,

While we dull dotes, despite our folly, see

The light of your epistemology

And, following your lead, are led, agog,

To pastures new by you, our pedagogue

And paradigm, our new-found Socrates

And rising star of stalwart stock, at ease

With scholarship; the rod of God you are,

A club to clobber all things modular

And cull the curse of course work – substitute

Outdated grades with points, and snub till mute

The protests of the proletariat;

Oh prince of prose who knows just where we’re at

And how the road ahead might undulate

Progress us all we pray from one to eight.
