I do not like these IEPs

I don not like them, Jeeze Louise!

We test, we check,

We paln, we meet,

But nothing every seems complate.

Would you, could you like the form?

I do not like the form I see,

Not page 1, not 2, not 3

another change

A brand new box,

I think we all

Have lost our rocks,

Could we all meet here or there?

We cannot all fit any where.

Not in a room, Not in a hall,

Could you, could you meet again?

I cannot meet again next week.

No kunch, no prop,

Please hear me speak.

No, not at dusk,No, not at dawn.

At 4 p.m., I should be gone.

Could your hear while all speak out?

Would you write the words they spout?

I could not hear, I would not write,

This does not need to be a fight.

Sign here, date there,

Mark this, check that,

Beware the students ad-vo-cat(e)

You do not like them,

So you say

Try again! Try again!

And you may

If you will let me be,

I will try again,

You will see

Say! I almost like these IEPs

I think I'll write 6,003

And I will practice day and night

until they say

You got it right
