Here we huddle, humble ova

In our early learning wombs

Waiting till the testing's over

As the spume shoot up the flumes

- Know their mission and ambition

- Know the world from X to Y

- Pass a special test on fission

- Prove that we can multiply

- Pick the toughest of the taddies

- Fertilise the wisest way

- Know our mummies from our daddies

- Always shun unstructured play

Tell us what the great and good said!

Suppose we blunder, make a bodge?

What if we should make a Woodhead?

Or hatch another Margaret Hodge?
