Education's Desecration

perhaps we are effete snobs
though we fete our snobbery honestly
   
   we lie and cheat our way to A's and B's
   leave for fools those 'gentleman's C's'

Hmmm...I was always happy with a Gentleman C, so I must have been a fool. Interesting.

No way, Milt. You never were and never will be a fool. Back when we were in school, a 'C' was nothing to be ashamed of. Today, it rhymes with 'E.'
