Academic Masks and a Commitment That Should Last

There once were masks 
Used in drama class 
One was happy one was sad 
After the lecture the students mastered the art to hailing a cab 

There once were masks 
Used in health care class 
One worked hard wearing a white coat one was busy healing due to someone’s fault  
Having knowledge on how the body was tinkering
Despite needing help from the nurse to decipher the handwriting without bickering 

There once were masks 
Used in economics class  
One studied the numbers one had money making wonders 
Learning how to negotiate taxing times 
While staying away from business suit collared crimes 

There once were masks 
Used in communication class 
One was fast one was a convenience that spoke to the ratings mass 
Deciding to report the news 
Or uncover those who refuse an interview 

Once there were masks 
Used in agriculture class 
One bred for dinner one help bring into the world a competitive animal that was a winner 
Food for thought when everything was taught 

Once there were masks 
Used in culinary class 
One had the meat one had the potatoes 
Each dependent on the presentation of the waiters 
Keeping everyone fed while packing away pounds avoiding debt 

Once they had their masks 
Now not needed since they graduated and had class 
They both walked down the aisle 
Showing an honest smile 
Now inches apart 
A lifelong relationship dreaming and ready for a start 
After a wedding that brought the two loyal friends together 
With a bond that made their lives stronger and better 
Finishing their education gave them maturing protection 
Featuring strong individual stability giving them the ability 
To take off the mask they used sitting in class
