HEADMASTER

Headmaster
Who have we here
If it isn’t Rosette!
Complaining all the time that homework is too much.
Better not try to say you’ve finished
Please look me in the eye.
Your French is poor, your maths is awful
No matter how hard you try!

You look quite pale
In fact you look like hell!
I don’t know if you’re sick, it’s hard to tell.
You should never have stayed behind in the classroom.
You’re silly, the things that you do!
You’re just like your mother was back long ago,
Not like my Josephine, she is much brighter than you.

You don’t look so well and perhaps you should go
To see the school doctor and show him the signs.
And he’ll see if you’re ill.
And I’m thinking for sure he will know
What’s up, Rosette.
I don’t think you should delay.
Go and see the doctor now, and do it straight away.

Rosette
Please Sir, I’m really quite all right
No need for doctors here tonight!

Headmaster
Don’t question me, or you’ll regret that you’re here!
It doesn’t pay to cross me,
Or it will cost you dear!
