Sample:
There are Piggles in my classroom,
They’re hidden out of sight,
They litter-up my classroom floor,
Though they know it isn’t right

Gum and candy wrappers,
They scatter all around,
And used up sheets of paper,
And bits of earth and ground

I don’t know what they look like,
But they always leave a mess,
They like to live in trash all day,
And spread their ugliness.

There are Piggles in my classroom,
I’ll hunt them down one day,
But I know it’s not my students,
(At least that’s what they say.)
