My soul has gone to college

And received her masters degree from HKU (Hard Knock University).

Seventy years of rigorous-nose to the grindstone,

knock-her-down to see if she pops back up curriculum.

 

Seeking Perfection 101

Make no mistakes

Taught my Professor Guru A. DoRight

 

Tale tucked between my legs,

And camouflaged dunce cap

I sought a new avocation.

 

Enrolled in HKU extension

Wifely Submission Obedience

Offered by Bishop Benedictis Church

 

I excelled for twenty years

Moving through 101, completing advanced

Studies and considered it to be my major.

 

When a geographical change bus sounded its horn

To my surprise I packed my bags and took the ride.

 

This time to the big city

Full of many universities from which to choose.

 

FSU (Free Sex University)

I received one F after another.

 

SSSU (Sugar Soothes the Soul University)

I received all A’s

But soon no longer fit in the desk.

 

Wonder of all wonders

A neon sign from a distant small town

Caught my eye.

 

PLU ( Promised Land University)

Run by Professors Joseph and Mary Godsend.

Only advanced students need apply.

Soul Survival 303

A four year intensive internship.

I planted my feet and did the required work

 

My soul began to slip away

And in my dream one night

Gave me one final message.

“Your soul is not for sale.”

 

I planned and executed my escape.

Diplomas tossed to the wind.

 

Today I run
