Animal Antics
S. W. Partridge & Co.: London. Ca 1906-1910.
Miss. Mouse is learning music, but she always plays with fear,
Although her brother, as you see, is bravely sitting near.
For at her elbow sits the teacher, Mr. Roar,
Who growls to hear her miss a note, which makes her stumble more.
Oh, when I choose my teacher, he shall have a gentle way,
For if I’m made to tremble, I shall never learn to play.
I had teachers like Mr. Roar – all they did was made me hate the subject. 😦
Me too! Teaching was kind of mean spirited during this era.
