The bluff

The Bluff.

It was not just his bold bluff,
That led to his total rebuff;

It was also his unpardonable fluff,
That made his teacher glare & puff;

And thrash him with his cuff!
In days gone by, such a duff

Led to stripping to the buff,
Or throwing out by his scruff,

The student left the room in a huff,
Taking away with him all his stuff;

His walk was just a mere scuff,
As unwelcome as a box of snuff.
