Edward Graham Macfarlane   THE LITTLE PRESIDENT   When I became a Teacher. I soon began to see. That I had been appointed, To rule a classroom in Dundee. The pupils were the citizens, From the clever to the dim,, And though I was not the headmaster, I chose to understudy him. One day a boy was cheeky, So I quickly slapped his face, Then up came an irate mother. To put me-right about my place. Now that slapping was forbidden, I had to go and buy a STRAP, And the pupils quickly named me, THE ‘SPANKIE MICKEY' CHAP. This taught the younger pupils, I believed in 'punishment extreme' And made my life much easier Upon the grievous `belting' scheme. I admit I was a ‘belter'. It was the legal thing to do, And I sometimes belted a whole class, If a delinquent did not come into view, I felt I was a little Hitler. And it worried me to realise, That in a multi-nations world. Men like POL POT do arise. Who do not merely belt their subjects, But deprive them of their lives, As a 'solution, of a 'problem' As it was seen by POL POT'S eyes. This IMPELLED me to be POLITICAL In a GLOBAL DEMOCRATIC way, To reach dictator-free solutions, For some 'problems" on our globe today! If I was GLOBAL PRESIDENT, I would not hesitate to rule. That the `guilty or `not' of Clinton. would be settled by THE GLOBAL REFERENDUM tool.
