There once was a lady from Rome
Who penned a scholarly tome
She spoke to the pope
Getting just the right dope
For a chapter on St. Peter's dome....

 	A scholar is known for his scholarly output
           A minister’s renowned for good deeds

        God sits back and judges them both
           ~ based on what His creations need

My dad drinks beer in his angriest t-shirt, waiting
for me to prove my purpose, two doctorates
like scholarly wings to lift his ass
to the upper class, where
he will drink beer in his angriest t-shirt, waiting....

Hoot E. Owl Esq.
By
Tom Wright

A scholarly old owl in the tree sat high,
Calling out to all, is any wiser than I?
He’d read his book,
From his overlook,
 Whoo whoo ha hoo, was his erie cry.

A scholarly man of numbers,
when confronted said, “Chance be gone!
He who believes the lie slumbers.”
A scholarly man of numbers
challenges the mind that lumbers.
“Probability is the brawn!”
A scholarly man of numbers,
when confronted said “Chance be gone!”...

I drove the meaning of the poem home,
dropped her at her front door, then drove home alone.
And I never heard much more about her after that,
except a rumor that some scholarly types had made a sanctum of her flat,
where twice a month they meet to chew her fat....

...as were kissing sullen, silent skies

I am kissing serene, spacious skies

scholarly kissing soft, starry skies

kissing stormy, southern skies

 sunny kissing, starlit skies

Gentle lady moon
So soothing and caring
Down below as I weep
Between the hills you peep
With teary eyes of Christ.

Even alone as I wept
The listening ear of you
Was inclined towards me
With a heart-shaped pie
For my red lips.

My gentle lady moon
You will my mind touch?
So high soars the mind
To the sky I so high fly
Only a scholarly dream....

Saints sight at senses and self-discipline
Solicit sanctity and salvation
Solitude, sustainable supplement 
Shows spiritual scholarly sources
Showers significant serene success
Subjugating suffused sullen sorrows.
Seclusion sketches spotless sacred souls.

A connoisseur of delicious or Johnathan apples? Queried my mom.
I had never considered her a connoisseur of either, I said with aplomb.
I knew her as Apple Jenny, she was a crone with a mission to learn.
I watched over her closely as she made her warm apple butter churn.
A scholarly woman, a sage wild woman who knew her own mind.
She was empathetic, casual, down-to-earth, pleasant and kind....

The tragedy is known
the comedy of the non-smile,
and the tragicomic flavor
from the laughter of others...

the comedy exorcises
nerds and frills:
intracutaneous demons
that to the unfortunate
abounds...

the children's movie
raise the ba-a-ba
at the level of a scholarly chair,
and the child's laughter
stiffens muscles
and loose attitudes,
with strong sweetness
and virile tenderness......

I may have been a hypocrite,
But at least when it came
To my closest friends I gave a .

I may be fat,
But at least physically
I’m way tougher than that!

I may have been insecure,
But at least within
I can always reassure myself alone.

I may not be that great a scholarly writer,
But at least I choose
To never conform to standards, I’m a fighter!

I may have been always lonely,
But at least I have
Gained a sense of inner identity!...

A Preacher and a Teacher
Dr. James E. Martin
©May, 2013

The preacher preached with all his might
Sunday morning and Sunday night.
The teacher taught day after day
In her unique and confident, scholarly way.

If the preacher preached
Has the teacher teached?
Or if the teacher taught
Did the preacher praught?

Interesting thought in all of this,
Or have I something amazingly missed?
I guess the answer may never be found
With all the geniuses hanging around....

Ego Veni Vidi Vici.
On the Citadel of Learning
Where intellectual intrepidity thrives
WE CAME as the gullible scrounging for knowledge.

On the Ivory tower of scholarly display
Where philosophies and ideologies are born
WE SAW invaluable imprints and imparts of Saintly Scholars.

Our polemic justice to the Professor's poetry
Certified us for the coveted convocation
WE CONQUERED the courses excellently through God.
(Ego Veni Vidi Vici--- We Came, We Saw, We Conquered)...

Into the moonlight, of waft pearl blue.
Flash of a firefly, glistening dew.
Horizon converses, in silhouette say.
The silent explosion, of night into day.
Into the meadow, of graceful grand.
Deep in aromas, that froth from the land.
Sunbeams mesmerise, clouds in array.
Countless the colors, that everywhere lay.
Into the wonder, that hides 'neath your smile.
How ever and ever, your scholarly style.
A touch of your hand, a taste of your skin.
The ways of your magic, again and again....
