Higher learning in Iran we know Is sometimes about long ago Their school's short on praise It's name starts a blame phrase Which is ''Ayatollah U'' so!

Hilariously funny - Top marks! However, laughing aside: What happened in Iran after the toppling of the Shah was a colossal tragedy for the world -This ancient seat of learning! Just like Caesars burning of the great library of Alexander in Egypt...then so the disintegration of a free and open society practising tolerance and impartiality in this great nation was also a loss for the world over! Enjoyed your little ditty, Duke...Always do. My very best regards! :) john

You are on target. It was all bad. The shah was not mr nice guy either. I hope that place will get its secular self back at some point in the future, but who knows. Moderation is not a bad thing.

Weird the way words are so strange. Lots of double entendres exist and we have to note all of them!
