"Willy's with us since he gives me his snack.
Richard is smelly--I'll throw him in back.
Sam's next to Richard for being too tall.
Hope is annoying, so she's by the wall."

"Edgar's up front with his huge bushy hair.
He'll like his seat 'cause he loves Miss McClaire.
Kelly's behind him, so his head blocks her view.

"There's no switching Walter--she'll notice a change.
Rod's in the corner. He's always been strange.
Lucas makes jokes so I'll put him close by,
But I'll move Maryann since he might make her cry."

"Maybe Hope is okay. She can sit on our side.
She's not so annoying on the morning bus ride.
Frank can be mean, he should sit in the hall.
If not, then it's either the back or the wall."

Well, eating a snack is a little bit silly.

Bob hides in the closet, a very tight crunch.
They all shuffle in from the afternoon lunch.
Miss McClaire tells the class something he can't believe.
He muffles his shouting and bites on his sleeve.

All of his work is finally complete,
And she tells the class, they can pick their own seats!
