Degree In Sindonology

My niece’s degree is in sindonology.
Not much of a chance to get a job if you ask me.
Her parents are proud of her, not seeing the truth.
She never plans to be employed, their daughter Ruth.
This is actually her twenty-seventh degree.
Fifty-two is old enough to leave college if you ask me.

(chuckle) I'd say so, but I have a friend who has four bachelor's degrees, three master's degrees, and is working on her doctorate. I have a real problem with that, but I keep my mouth shut!

I had a second cousin who stayed in college through his sixties, letting his mother support him. Luckily she did not mind. Better yet she lived to be 106.
