Certain Degree

I'm not the greatest poet 
Although I do have a couple of degrees. 
One's for my sense of humour 
The others for my honesty.

Brother John, those are the degrees to have, on poetry because it stirs one’s emotions, humour for the fact it’s good for one’s groans… Sis Beryl

True sister Beryl, we could well do with a little bit more humour brighten up the place a bit.

I like it, John! We desperately need both of your degrees! And, they take great personal effort to attain! Your poem is a great reminder! Thank you for your wisdom. Sending you blessings. Perhaps a doctorate is in order!

John, those are great qualities. Degrees in both honesty and humor make you great company outside of the woke world (lol). Thank goodness poetry provides us with a platform with some immunity.

Thank you Duke, I've seen so many changes in my 76 years, sadly not for the better, as you say we're now living in a Woke world.

Dear Jan, a degree from you would be the greatest gift, your sense of humour is second to none.
