Frederick from Participation Award by Jude Perl

Frederick, Frederick
I know your upset
Napolean has beaten us again

Frederick, Frederick
I hear your cries
And I know we gotta get some better soldiers and spies

Frederick I think I’ve got the answer
I know what we must do
Put your trust in me
And I’ll make you the best army

Take every 6 year old in the nation
And put em in a room with 30 other 6 year olds
And do that every day for a year
And do that every year for… 12 years

Take 1 adult to stand at the front of the room
And the front of the room adult tells all the 6 year olds what to do
If the 6 year olds don’t do what the front of the room adult tells them to
Then they will get in TROUBLE

Frederick, Frederick
This plan will work
Cause 6 year olds are easy to control

And we’ve got 12 years
To mold their minds well
And they’ll learn to love their country more than anything else

But just so no one gets suspicious
Here’s the next part of this plan
Put your trust in me
And I’ll make you the best army

We’ll pretend the 6 year olds are there to learn other stuff
Like oh yeah, no we really wanna teach them all how to read and write
Quadratic graphs, Pythagoras and how to climb a rope
And well make them feel bad if they get out of line
Or if they don’t learn everything at exactly the same time

But don’t you worry Frederick
Your children will be fine
Well make a special room
Where all the wealthy children can go
So they don’t interact
With the working class
And they will learn how to lead them to war

Frederick, Frederick
This plan is win win
Seperating families from their next of kin
So let’s begin
