Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

No Blank Degree

Go to school,
  and load your gun

The man is coming
  the cradle shunned

Do your homework,
  obey the rules

The exam’s been written
  that dunce a fool

Go to school,
  and stack the deck

Each grade a face card
  full house respect

Dot your I’s,
  and cross your T’s

Your promise written
  —no blank degree

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
