The Foreign Student

Getting off to a good start.

The Foreign Student

 

By Elton Camp

 

Ahamed’s command of English wasn’t so good,

But to make a fine impression, he did all he could.

He walked up to one of his professors in the hall,

It was the South, so he nicely said, “Howdy y’all.”

 

“To be a member of your class is a great delight.

I overheard some students praise you last night.

They said you are so smart, you don’t have to try.

It just comes so naturally for you to be a wise guy.”
