Valley Park, Mo.
(D) Miss Bishop, I am ready for (A) school
Ring the bell, and call us all (D) in
One room, fifteen desks, and a (A) stool
Black board, word cards, light so (D) dim
(D) First grade in the front (A) row
7th and 8th were in the (D) rear
Study and recite, so it (A) goes
Learn a little more each (D) year
(D) Phonics, to help us read and (A) spell
Writing and arithmetic taught with (D) ease
World places learned so (A) well
Big windows looked out to hickory (D) trees
(D) Learned what life was (A) about
Still have many mem-(D)ories
Just a one room school (A) house
In among the hickory (D) trees.
