Mr Maloney looked such a fool

 This morning in school assembly, Mr Maloney looked such a fool

When he stood up in front of everyone and said “There’s no heating in school!

But it will be back on by five, for a man I am going to pay.

And he will mend the central heating later on today.”

He didn’t let us home, you know, he didn’t let us home!

A decent teacher would have called our parents on his office telephone.

A decent teacher would have let us home at the slightest hint of snow.

That’s what my Mom told him when she came to have a go!
