A third grade teacher always took role call each morning and had the pupils' answer by reciting a short poem.


The first kid sat in the first row was a teachers pet.

He stood and said, "My name is Dan, and when I become a man, I would like to go to Japan if I can, and I think I can."


The next kid was a little girl who sat in the middle of the room.


She stood up and answered the roll call by stating, "My name is Suzy, and when I become a lady I would like to have a baby ...


if I can, and I think I can."


The next on the list was Little Johnny, a smart guy sitting in the back of the room.


He stood up and said, "My name is Johnny, and I don't give a darn about Japan but I would like to help Suzy in her plan if I can ...


and I think can!"
