The Intellectual Elf
Working at looking studious,
the academic went his way
Pontificating what he didn’t know,
his students bowed and swayed
Reading only what was duly sworn
writing safe, within the shelf
To himself was he now smitten blind
—an intellectual elf
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
