The Good Scholar

________________________________________________
Title:     The Good Scholar
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

Joseph West had been told,
That if, when he grew old,
He had not learned rightly to spell,
Though his writing were good,
'Twould not be understood:
And Joe said, "I will learn my task well."

And he made it a rule
To be silent at school,
And what do you think came to pass?
Why, he learnt it so fast,
That from being the last,
He soon was the first in the class.

[The end]
Elizabeth Turner's poem: Good Scholar
