_Board of Education_.
_Three Would-Be Teachers_.

_Chorus by Board_:
Now please don't waste
Your time and ours
By pleas all based
On mental powers.
She seems to us
The proper stuff
Who has a hus-
Band bad enough.
All other pleas appear to us
Excessively superfluous.

_1st Teacher_:
My husband is not really bad----

_Board_:
How very sad, how very sad!

_1st Teacher_:
He's good, but hear my one excuse----
