Fegger was a bright little lad

An intellegent lad was he

When he was only seven years old

He was far ahead of his classmates you see

Math was always Fegger’s favorite subject

Numbers were constantly floating in his brain

While his classmates were having difficulties

To Fegger, the answers came like rain

Fegger’s teacher Miss Jones, told her class one day

To put their math books out of sight

That a math quiz was coming their way

To see which student could get the most answers right

She held up a picture of three bird’s sitting on a wire

Then asked the class if one of the birds got shot

How many birds would there still be left

Fegger raise his arm quickly to answer, because he knew the plot

There wouldn’t be any birds left on the wire

The other two would fly off when they heard the shot

I’m sorry to inform you Fegger, this time you’re not right

If you take one bird away, two would be left and not take flight

Fegger became extremely mad at the answer the teacher said

He raised his hand to let Miss Jones know, that she seem to be mislead

Teacher i have a question for you, to see if you can get it right

There were three ladies eating ice cream cones in the sun that was so bright

The first lady was licking her ice cream cone, a little at a time

The second lady was taking little nibbles, enjoying every bite

The third lady was putting the whole ice cream cone in her mouth

Then licking the ice cream as she pulled it out just right

Now comes the question teacher, get it right if you can

Which one of these women would you say is married

Miss Jones face turned bright red, by the question Fegger asked

She didn’t want to get it wrong, trying to hide her embarrassment by this task

I think it would be the third lady, Miss Jones answered with pride

Fegger told her she was wrong, with a giggle he couldn’t hide

The correct answer is the lady wearing the wedding band. he told her with a smile

Miss Jones was overcome with embarrassment, but she admired Fegger’s style

Fegger went on many years later, to great fortune and fame

He never forgot his teacher Miss Jones, and that little math game

His advice to all that know him, is to always follow your heart

He laughs everytime he thinks of that day, when his teacher he did outsmart!
