Timothy

by Nick Gisburne



Your boy ignites anxiety in class
He revels in malicious tricks and lies
The pupil most determined not to pass
A deviant, destructive for his size
We cannot tame the tyranny we see
With every child too traumatised to talk
The time has come, on this we all agree
For Timothy to take a little walk
The world has too much misery and woe
To school another scowling psychopath
A maniac, he clearly has to go
Before we reap the bloody aftermath
    Unanimous, his teachers recommend
    Beheading, for a swift and certain end
