An Education
He finally completed his degree.
He was happy as he could be.
He soon discovered,
As he hastily recovered,
That in another program he should be.
He thought that his choice had been wise.
He therein did wrongly surmise.
He now was learning
That for which he was yearning
Had all along been in disguise.
So a new course he’d now pursue.
Not exactly what he wished to do.
He entered the fray,
With little delay,
And embarked on a path totally new.
He determined to give it his best.
He aced every test.
A scholar he’d be,
From learning he’d not flee,
And discovered how richly he was blessed.
