19 Although they're all important.

CHAPTER 5E
1 lE is for Education,
2 Which is why it's so important for you to do well in school and go to a good college,
3 Like the mIvy League,
4 Or maybe the nBig Ten,
5 Except that no son of mine will ever go to oPrinceton,
6 Because it's so full of spoiled little rich boys,
7 Which could give you the wrong idea,
8 About a lot of things,
9 pEspecially about bow ties.

CHAPTER 5F
1 F is for Farm Animals.
2 Which you should know about even if you don't live in the country,
3 Because a man who doesn't know anything about animals is the worst kind of fool,
4 And can be made to look completely ridiculous by cows,
5 And horses,
6 And goats,
7 And sheep,
8 And geese,

9 And chickens,
10 And also the wild animals that eat farm animals or crops,
11 Like weasels,
12 And foxes,
13 And the bigger hawks,
14 And rats,
15 And all those good-for-nothing rabbits and squirrels and coons,
16 Not to mention losing out on the pleasure of appreciating the wild things that live in and around farms without hurting anything,
17 Like loons,
18 And mourning doves,
19 And tree frogs,
20 And barn swallows,
21 And crows,
22 And hummingbirds,
23 And deer, which some people like to hunt, unless they got a bellyful of killing somewhere else, like I did,
24 And groundhogs,
25 And beavers,
26 And otters sometimes, if you've got the right kind of pond,
27 And certain kinds of snakes, I guess,
28 And if you're lucky, maybe even the occasional black bear.

CHAPTER 5G
1 G is for Great Men,
2 Whose names you should always know,
3 Because they come up in conversation quite often,
4 And people will look down their nose at your if you ask who they're talking about,
5 Which means you'd better know the Great Men in history, qwhich I was never that good at, to be honest, although I got some of their names pounded into me, because it's important to know at least something about them, even if it's only their names,
