A Bit of Fatherly Pride

If in a bit of fatherly pride I may indulge here My 22-year-old son's brought my old age new cheer Today he just accepted his first full-time position Which my wife and I wish him much success in By the way, our son -- you should know -- is super brainy As shown by his job title, M.I.T. (!) ~ Mgr. in Training M.I.T. also stands for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which has long been considered the top college in America

Jan, thank you so much. And I will pass on your kind words. (He knows of you because of the correspondence you inspired between the head of the Jewish community on the Isle of Man and me). Best wishes, gw
