Eexpressions that may be useful to students:
- Excuse me Mr.
do you have the time
or are you so important
that it stands still for you - Can't you see the children dying
you say that you can't help them
Mr. you're not even trying - I'm taking the Mr.
from out in front of your name
cause it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
