Walking the Straight-And-Narrow
5.0 grade-point on a 4.0 scale
Climbed Mt. Everest, the 'icy trail'
His summer job was 'Director of Sales'
This straight male applied early to Yale
Puerto Rican knockout with Eskimo mother
Non-binary female and transgender lover
Active in flash mobs, landed three months in jail
Now back on the streets, thanks to 'No Cash Bail'
Our 'Yalie' got rejected, 'Why' is the question
Since our flash-mobber got into Harvard
An accomplished bank-robber, else she'd have starved
While our erstwhile 'Yalie' cleaned rooms at the Westin
All's well that ends well, my folks always say
'Yalie's' gender-confused now ~ I think that I shall pray
