A Boy's Composition.
'A school ma'am is a verb because
she denotes action when you throw
paper wads at the girls, Switch is a
conjunction and is used to connect the
verb school ma'am to the noun boy.
This is a compound sentence, of which
boy is the subject and switch is the
object. First person, singular number
and awful case. A school ma'am is
different from a boy, a boy wears pants
and a school ma'am wears her hair
banged all over her forehead. She
puts paint on her face and some big
fellows come and take her home. Ma
says a school ria'am never gets to be
older than eighteen until she gets mar-
ried. It takes two school ma'ams a
day to cook a dinner.
