Bus

I am 26
Riding the
University bus
Home to the married
Students housing on Lake
Austin Blvd a graduate student
Teaching Assistant Extension Division Instructor father of
Three sons and a bit of an
Arrogant bore a tubby fat
Headed lout run amok
Teaching out of the
Classroom a fault
I have never out
Grown but at
Least aware
Of after 50
Years of
Smug
Self
Delusion.
Yet I am loved
By my family and
Friends who ignore my
Faults, I still do not know why.
I look back at myself half a
Century ago and am oh
So ashamed of myself
But worse I wonder
What faults I am
Currently blind
To so I ask for
Forgiveness
And try to
Tread a
Little
Softer.
Did I mention
My graduate degrees?
