There once was a school with four Houses
the founders of it didn't have spouses
so they teamed up their wits
said lickety-splits
and students have to dress up in blouses
The first of these Houses is Gryffindor
it's students eager to fight a war
but they're stupidly brave
go to an early grave
all because of bad guys they abhor
In Hufflepuff will you probably find
those who are fair, and loyal and kind
but please do watch out
they are not boy scouts
if you say so you'll be heavily fined
Ravenclaw is home to smartypants
and in those smart pants they will get ants
if a question is asked
stupidity is masked
and you don't know about ancient chants
Slytherin is the last of the four
it's been said that most of them snore
but if you try to listen
your face will soon glisten
with tears, shed and unshed, galore
So don't be afraid, though I look manky
sit down dear, don't be so cranky
I'll have a look at you
you'll know what to do
and how to embroider your hanky.
