Tony the Vegan

[Verse]
Tony the Vegan, he’s got a drummer’s soul,
Teaching high school kids, taking its toll,
But when the ice broke, waters came to rise,
Those laughing students caught a big surprise.
[Verse 2]
He slipped through the ice, water up to his eyes,
One meter deep, couldn’t even touch the sky,
His height shortchanging, couldn't find the ground,
While those kids stood pointing, humor they found.
[Chorus]
Tony the Vegan, with a heart so deep,
Life's little ironies, promises to keep,
Teachers get tested, more than just the books,
That day on the ice, it was more than looks.
[Verse 3]
Came back to their desks, laughing at his plight,
But Tony the Vegan, he stood up to fight,
In those tiny moments, taught more than what’s planned,
Life’s greatest teachers know how to withstand.
[Chorus]
Tony the Vegan, with a heart so deep,
Life's little ironies, promises to keep,
Teachers get tested, more than just the books,
That day on the ice, it was more than looks.
[Verse 4]
He dried off his drumsticks, kept his beat strong,
Knew the path he chose wouldn’t be long,
But in that classroom, lessons aren’t all the same,
It's respect and courage, more than just a name.
