Our backs to the Biology teacher
We sit at the bench at the back
We figit, shuffle, eyes wander
Our attention the teacher does lack

There are many reasons for this
Reasons? ok its only my view
And I think the last one explains
Why biology's studied by few

How can you learn on a lab stool
They're high, awkward and wobble
They make Biology, Chemistry, (Science)
Anything but a straightforward doddle

You figit, shuffle, eyes wander
As i've already mentioned before
Those lovely habits of students
Every teacher does hate and abhore

Now we come to the lab bench
Which plays its own part
Ours face the back of the classroom
So we're off to a very poor start

The bench is to high for a chair
But really to low for a stool
Our legs, we cannot get under
Without looking a prat and a fool

So we're at the back sitting sideways
While teacher prattles on at the front
A lesson on animal plant life?
Don't know, is the answering grunt

They contain things of interest
Which in vinegar we find preserved
Although some of its pretty boring
About which we are more reserved

We don't go for preserved plant life
Whether it be leaf, twif or fern
It's the preserved dead animal carcass
Our eyes do quickly discern

Now i'm sure it doesn't surprise you
Us naughtly folks at the back
Looking at pickled creatures
Trying to get teacher the sack

Well maybe not that really
But its hard to concentrate
When one of the creatures before you
Does not smell at all first rate

I introduce Monty the Mole
Sitting in his leaky old jar
By far the smelliest relic
To be found in pickling vinegar

Monty has seen better days
You can see that with one eye or two
And the proof is there in his smell
Oh my, gee whizz and oh pooh

Monty 1 Teacher 0 is the score
In this classroom at any rate
For Monty's smell is all over
And teacher does not fumigate

Monty defeats the Biology Teacher
From getting the message across
We're to busy holding our noses
To give a hoot, a care, a toss

So if your a Biology Teacher
Learn from this epic please do
And don't let smelly old mole
Become between any students and you
