Shall college presidents resign
When the House says words cross the line?

If free speech lacks context?
"Stefanik is asinine!"...

Prized possession of the dark arts...

An atheistic 'Chief Chaplain' at Harvard
       The university's raison d'etre bartered

    A divinity school, founded to spread God's word
       The goal now, 'equitable neighborhoods'...

Fifty per cent 
 of Harvard grads 
  opt for finance or consulting

The percentage who go into teaching?
 That figure's downright discomfiting
  ~ disgraceful, insulting.

The best and brightest manipulate money
  ~ Future generations won't find that so funny...

I was set free
By Grammerly
But Spelchek
Held me by the neck

They said AI
Could make me fly
But t’is my plight
To miss that flight

My keyboard batt’ries
Running low
To compensate
I type real slow

Then I learned
To my surprise
To get to Harvard
Just plagiarize

  Good to know that we can be sure that Ms. Claudine Gay
  Harvard's newest president was thoroughly vetted, 'the Harvard way'

    She's good with Harvard's policy that using the wrong pronoun is abuse
    But 'context is required' to discipline those who scream 'Genocide for Jews'...

A winter's walk
on Commonwealth Avenue
Kathy I said 
this reminds me of 1992
I dreamed of Harvard then
and Catcher in the Rye
I am a rock
I could see Boston from my mind's eye
Now I have patches on my sleeves like
I passed some kind of test
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
and disregards the rest...

When i was younger i had no problems at all
Now that i'm older my problems have grown 10 feet tall
Bill paying and rent is my main thing now that i am older
having to do that makes my world a little colder
to much month at the end of the money really makes me mad
Sometimes i wish i would have been a harvard grad...

The Wriggler Squiggler was a caterpillar
                               A graduate from Harvard- a faith healer
                                      He squirmed on Lucy my wife
                                      "Mom what is the way of life?"
                                  He asked with an air of a lady killer...

Great girdle! She cried. 
What happenstance have we happened upon?
Have the two nitwits knocked themselves silly with hammers?
What is the sensitivity they seek so?
She heaves humbly a sigh sumptuously,
As if the scene had the heavenly smells of Harvard halls, the musk of her haberdashery
And wondered how she could fit into such a simple equation...

Why expect a lot from A sluggard:
A trim look, not seeming haggard
And easy win of high regard?
You'd make much of A sluggard
A Great story from Great Harvard
Upon him wait with a staunch guard
And the often - praised by A Bard...

Then, you never knew A sluggard:
From Laziness to Prison Yard
After nice crimes testing, no Yard
Next lazy jailbreak and Graveyard....

I laughed so hard, I would almost gag
while I listened to your ditty “The Vatican Rag”.
Why was a Harvard PhD mathematician
performing on stage as a musician?
You tickled the ivories on your piano
while you let your humorous lyrics flow.
With your witty comments, you put on a show.
You were a master at sociological satire
until the day you would retire.

waking up 
to a less than Harvard new day 
Marked, with Zesty aggressive fumy intimidation
Face-ed ,with multi-colored vomit 
that never seems to taste
Book end right
my nose knows the deal
but what others may know 
I would (could) not smell (tell)
now with floating of the fumes     
the sun in my life 
gave shine all over the carpet 
a whole new glow 
that billions 
would never believe...

Anatomy's a bugaboo
But dreaming is not a taboo!
There is something under
Your clothes--so no wonder
I've thought of things I like to do
    

Author's note: This is about private parts.  We usually keep these to ourself, but the ideas we have are there and cannot be purged from our bed. However, it's not great to brag or make rating lists public.  A lesson for the Donald and the Harvard mens' soccer team. What turkeys!!...

For Langston Hughes

What sends them Harvard poets
I just couldn't do it, Sir: 
What sends them Harvard poets
I just couldn't do it, Sir:
They'll never give me a Pulitzer.

What tickles them Yale poets
Just leaves me sad an' a grievin':
What tickles them Yale poets
Leaves me sad an' a grievin':
Never seen no Birch trees 
On a snowy evenin'.

Then Oxford poets got they poems
An' I gots mine...
So I'll be movin' on, Langston
Movin' down the line....

Chicken thief thieves even chips
He has a head of steel to steal
Stealing still steals him on his bed
Chicken thief never sleeps at night
For he goes to steal in darkness
He sleeps at the daytime
His fingers are master keys
They open any padlock
He carries a skull
Which when put at your door
You dream---500 dreams
Chicken thief catches the chicken beak
He steals it quietly
And sells it quickly
Don’t try to be a chicken thief
Till you steal masters of stealing from Harvard...

Mr. Harvard

He stood there
With wide open eyes.
Mr. Harvard,
King of the skies.

We fell in love
And created hell.
All the games we played.
All the times we'd yell.

But none of them know-
Note Yale, Princeton, or Brown.
About our secret affair-
Our night on the town.
No. None will ever know
How we really feel.
Our secret is ours.
Our love is real.

It cries when it's hurt.
It laughs when it's happy.
With wide open eyes..
It looks like its' ... Daddy.

(c) 9/7/84...
