But he didn’t care who and he didn’t care where

Just so he was under size.

Then the big boy cried, “A big chief am I,

I was born to bang and to civilize,

And yet sometimes I, in my pride I sigh

For something about my size.”

Then the good Schoolmaster he reached a hand

And across his knee he did flop crosswise

That bully, and raise in his good right hand

A board of considerable size.
