Hats Off To My Prof

My freshman reading list is
    Thomas Payne, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky
  The prof is not one to pitschky-potschky  

  The leaders to be studied will be
    Elijah Muhammed, Stalin, Castro, Marx, and Xi
  I wonder why A.H. is an absentee

  O, I get it -- Good things come in fives
    USA, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria
  Nazi Germany too busy taking lives

  Looking forward to an action-packed semester
    in this new course called ~
  'Proud Traditions of our Ancestors'

Gee, it is freedom of choice. Left or right, studying makes you better judge.
