Professor Roberts came from the streets.
He didn't know the meaning of meek.
He believed that strong minds is what everyone should seek.
Professor Roberts didn't let any of his students slack.
He put enough work on them.

That could break their backs.
But all of his students became very tough.
And ready to meet life's challenges.
When the going got rough.
