“And how was your lunch?”
A pleasant woman but a frightful bore
whose mind was full of snobbery and fear
She held the world of academe in awe.
To be with her for long became a chore
as endless drivel trickled in my ear;
a pleasant woman but a frightful bore.
Her daughter had achieved a higher score
than all the other students in her year,
she held the world of academe in awe.
I gazed with desperation at the door
as she droned on about her son’s career
a pleasant woman but a frightful bore.
Her own achievements then began to pour
from vapid lips, a litany so drear—
she held the world of academe in awe.
I looked for love of scholarship but saw
that recognition was what she held dear.
