Shelby dear, you're never here
so Howzit you know so much?
Your brain is sharp, like fine art
your snazzy clothes, they sparkle
Shelby dear, it's very clear, you've learned that your potential
can take the place of showin' your face, it really is that simple.
A Teddy Bear, Maddona-ish, as sweet as carrots in May.
Where you go, the students glow, and wish that you would stay!
You make this room less full of gloom, so would it be so hard,
for you each day to come and stay, and help us read the Bard?
