Taunt Your Children Well

(To the Tune of Teach Your Children Well)

(The Scene: Potions Class. Enter SEVERUS SNAPE)

SNAPE
Taunt your children well 
Put them through Hell
Inside the classroom

When it's time to teach 
Be sure to screech
And make `em sense doom 

As the Potions Prof
They won't dare scoff
Cause you're the top wiz

Surprise them all with tests
Make them detest 
And fear each pop quiz

Persecute a student's toad
His self-esteem you will corrode
And within him seeds you've sowed 
To make him hate you

Flash a mocking smile
And assign a pile
Of dreary homework

Watch their spirit fade
As a failing grade
You grant with a smirk

In your seminar
You can start war
If you play favorites

Select a teacher's pet
The rest forget
Sit back and savor it

Give each child what he deserves
You'll augment his learning curve
If you jangle all his nerves
Until he hates you
Uh-huh!
