The Trouble With Education

Too much of it has a tendency to produce P. A. S.* Once you know everything, there’s no excitement to be had in any direction. Learning something new is exhilarating, pops my cork. An invigorating day happens when I can write new information on the R. A. M.** of my brain. Oh, how I pity those who simply have nothing else to learn. *Pompous A_ _ Syndrome ** Random Access Memory © cfa 11/10/2015

Thank YOU for commenting on my five-minute poem. I sometimes take a quick stab at humor. Our system here is so bad, if we're not laughing, we're crying.

This is a great poem. And I agree, a person cannot afford apathy when learning is at stake.
