Older Sis - Younger Sis

She has a PhD in Physics
  works as a surgeon on the side
Four kids to date with one in the oven
  across a Steinway, her swift fingers glide  

But older sis calls her a ‘know-nothing’
  ‘cos the PhD thinks ‘all lives matter’
Ere she responds, younger sis pauses a minute
  then smiles ~ ‘Perhaps me, you flatter’



    gw                    rhyme                   June 21, 2022

How nice -- a PhD who thinks all lives matter. I like your younger sis already :)

Yes, refreshing to find a PhD without a ski jump for a nose...

I like younger sis's response. I also like her take on life.

Sounds like a bit of sibling rivalry out of control here, gw.

With a PH.D no one becomes a 'Know -All' and without it no one becomes a 'Know- Nothing'..... Interesting observations, Gershon....
