Collaboration Lab: Gershwin & Poe's "But Not Form E"

Uly Poe is currently hand-in-glove 
with Ira Gershwin, busy reimagining 
the latter's lyric "But Not For Me" 
in order to accommodate it to Uly's 
new musical set on the grounds of 
an English public school and dealing 
with the improprieties of a class of 
young miscreants, the notorious 
Form E.

Form A...? A throng I love.
But not Form E.
Form B...? A cut above. 
But not Form E.
C formers...? Bright and gay,
though, sadly, not today:
Form E gets in their way.
Catastrophe!
E formers take the piss; 
they pass the buck.
Hi ho! Alas! And also...WTF!
The other forms at school
are fire and dope and cool --
all good eggs as a rule.
But not Form E.
