The Alphabets

I'm learning the alphabets
So I can write my name
I'm six years old, and I've been told
That learning can be a pain

My parents tried to teach me
With very little success
They thought they were cool, and put me in school
To learn from the very best

They drove me here to Jefferson
Way down on west fifth street
Your friends you won't miss, so don't dismiss
That this will be such a treat

But I wanted to learn the alphabets
Not be a famous brain surgeon
I'm just a kid, you're trying to get rid
And why is this seeming so urgent

Life is just a process
That we all must go through
Know your A B Cs, and 1 2 3s
And life will be easier for you

Here at Jefferson school
We teach all twenty six letters
So when you escape, to go graduate
It makes everyone feel much better
