Bespectacled Beryl was simply a peril
With her nose always stuck in a book.
Unlike other girls, all perfume and pearls,
She gave not a care how she looked.
She studied and learned until her brain burned
With knowledge and wisdom and culture,
And the Bullies In Charge, when she was at large,
Watched their tyranny stagger and falter.
So Bespectacled Beryl, always a peril,
Taught her sisters and daughters as well;
And an army was formed of women informed
Who demolished the fiends' Citadel.
With her nose always stuck in a book.
Unlike other girls, all perfume and pearls,
She gave not a care how she looked.
She studied and learned until her brain burned
With knowledge and wisdom and culture,
And the Bullies In Charge, when she was at large,
Watched their tyranny stagger and falter.
So Bespectacled Beryl, always a peril,
Taught her sisters and daughters as well;
And an army was formed of women informed
Who demolished the fiends' Citadel.
