94: martinet: a rigid disciplinarian who demands absolute adherence to rules and regulations (from Jean Martinet, a French army officer during the reign of Louis XIV; first known use of the word, 1737)

Avoid that teacher—martinet!

The roughest guy that you could get.

You wouldn’t last too long, I bet.

He has a bullwhip in his class—

And uses it to whup some ass.

There is no way that you can pass—

Well, not, at least, with any joy.

He kills it for each girl and boy—

Their backs all look like corduroy.

So my advice? Just stay away.

I also hate his green toupee!
