You Teach Each Little Elf More Than You Know Yourself

You Teach Each Little Elf More Than You Know Yourself
An insulting "vinegar valentine" for schoolteachers.

Schoolmistress

You teach each little elf
More than you know yourself;
And talk like a petticoat college;
To spank the little boys
Is the greatest of your joys;
'Tis thus you preside at the seat of knowledge.

For another example of a vinegar valentine, see Wretched Typo the Printer.
