If in a bit of fatherly pride I may indulge here
My 22-year-old son's brought my old age new cheer
Today he just accepted his first full-time position
Which my wife and I wish him much success in
By the way, our son -- you should know -- is super brainy
As shown by his job title, M.I.T. (!) ~ Mgr. in Training
M.I.T. also stands for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
which has long been considered the top college in America
