A Recent Discovery By The Institute Of Inane Research

________________________________________________________________________________________________


With funding from 
the Cole Porter School of Music History,
lyrics from  a 1930-ish folk song 
have been discovered
but they are incomplete
and the Institute requests 
YOU or anyone you know
complete them:
 
 
He was only a dot in her roll book
until he fixed her flat tire
after serving detention
in her classroom
 
Gym shorts and long division
led him to that fateful decision
now all he gets is derision
from my friends

  1. She got transferred to another school
    and it made him feel cool
    But now all his friends
    call him "Fool."

    2. "In truth,
      she did nothing wrong
      except contribute
      to your humor
      "She just got caught
      on the muffler end
      of a dirty rumor."
