An entreaty - a humor

Ohh no, did you hear, there rings the class-bell again?
Time for yet another roar, after a good rest at den.
Devils should be less in count due to the heavy rain.
Tormenting task it is, but again; no pain no gain.

Heavenly father/mother or god, sincerely I pray
That some of these kids don’t come to class today.
Especially that one, Patrick Peterson kid;
Of course you know, last week, what he did.

He stole the marking pens from my desk,
and changed the grades on all my test.
He found my lunch and ate it all up;
it was funny when it made him throw up.

But it wasn’t comical when he did it in my favorite cup.
Lord I need this job, though don’t let me give up.
Heavenly father/mother or god, sincerely I pray
can't I get retired, before my hairs turn gray?
