A REWARD OF MERIT by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE FATHER ASKED: 'HOW HAVE YOU DONE'
Last Line: THEY MAKE ME REPEAT MY FRESHMAN YEAR
Subject(s): SCHOOLS; STUDENTS;
THE father asked: "How have you done
In mastering ancient lore?"
"I did so well," replied the son,
"They gave me an encore;
The Faculty like me and hold me so dear,
They make me repeat my Freshman year."
