Over Educated New Priest

Over Educated New Priest

Did decide what several do dread;
With your education are overhead;
Possesses PHD,
Better than me;
Put this thought to rest in big bed.

He is in his upper 40's like my son and will be taking his parents (82 and 78) with him. I am 77 myself. He likes music and poetry. Fits in fine with me.

the phrase 'over educated' sort of implies the priest always looking things up in the manual...checkin the specs

No. He has a BS and MS in Ministry and a PhD in Oriental Philosophy. How about that.
