be creative the professor said

be creative the professor said
I thought I was
what did I do wrong?
I did not mean THAT creative, he told me.
In a stern, mean condescending way.
The trouble is,
I do not know how to be less creative.
And why would I want to?
Albert Einstein said, "Creativity is Intelligence having fun."
If there is anyone who wants to garnish more fun
You are looking at her.
