Do You Like These IEP's
by Dr. Suess

I do not like these IEP's
I do not like them Jeeze Louise
We test, we check
We plan, we meet
But nothing ever seems complete

Would you, could you
Like the form?

I do not like the form I see
Not page one, not two, not three
Another change
A brand new box
I think we all
Have lost our rocks

Could you all meet here or there?

We could not meet here or there?
We can not fit anywhere
Not in a room
Not in a hall
There seems to be no space at all

Would you, could you meet again?

I can not meet again next week
No lunch, no prep
Please hear me speak
No, not at dusk, no, not at dawn
AT 4 PM I should be gone

Could you hear while all speak out?
Would you write the words they spout?

I could not hear, I could not write
This does not need to be a fight
Sign here, date there
Mark this, check that
Beware the student's advocat (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 them
You will see

Say! I almost like these IEP's I think I'll write 103
And I will practice day and night
Until they say
You got it right.
