Roboteach
I am an android aide
In a class of eighty-two –
I keep the children on parade
And tell them what to do
No question is too sticky
Or even tarmacadam-y
Nothing is too tricky
In this robot-run academy
I am their bell, all trembly
I ring in moral fibre
I am each day’s assembly
My theme is always cyber
Of course I have no feeling
Of course I don’t emote
My lessons aren’t appealing
They’re all prepared by rote
I manage all the tables
Assessments – they’re the best!
I sort out all the labels
On the new tri-weekly test
I know where every coat is
I have no time for slackers
But I’ve handed in my notice
The marking drove me crackers
