martin martin. what did you do?4
This is a poem that I made. When reading it, say it to the tune of “Dradle”
[dradle dradle dradle, a little top that spins. the children all are happy, when hanukah begins]
Martin, oh Martin, what did you do?
Martin, oh Martin, I have the flu.
Even if I didnt, I wouldnt go to school.
You stood up to people, and it was very cool.
But Martin, Martin, Martin,
I have a question for you.
Why, oh why, oh why:
Did you do what you needed to do.
It was very brave. And it was also very nice.
Now people dont care if someone’s black or if they’re white.
But, Martin, Martin, Martin.
Why must we stay home.
We think its really pointless,
For school is where we want to come.
Staying home is awesome.
And staying home is great.
Because I dont have to worry,
About entering school late.
But Martin, Martin, Martin.
I have another question for you.
Why don’t we go to school?
I haven’t got a clue.
No, Im not complainging,
Because a day off is just fine.
But is it really worth it,
To waste all of our time.
Don’t take this offensive,
I don’t mean to be mean.
But everytime I stay home,
My mother expects me to clean.
It’s not exactly how I,
Plan to spend my day.
So Martin, Martin, Martin.
I’ve got one more thing to say.
I really am quite thankful,
Although it may not seem.
By Mr. Martin Luther,
Why Did You Have That Dream?!
