Across the universities and colleges
of this great land
Unless a senior would be a great
time to wish you could put your head in the sand
It is finals time and gallons of tea
or coffee to consume
Lucky if in cramming one ever leaves
one’s dorm, frat or sorority room
Yet in the Mecca of wi-fi and coffee
to ward away the sleep
Cramming at a Starbucks for an
elusive A to the dream of Grad School keep
Watching an Anteater on Adam Smith’s
birthday pouring through the mysteries of Econ 165
Back in time to a class in France at
Stanford same number hoping the from the test only an A would survive
Looking at this young women now a
fan of this poet’s blog
It is clear that our youth despite
the Sanders’ siren call is not in any fog
The sons and daughters of the
Greatest Generation are in great hands and should rest assured
The torch is being grabbed eagerly
by the classes of 2016 and 2017, our future is insured
Focus, attention, cram, achieve and
to a promising future of dreams
fulfilled drive
Despite all the chaos the American
Dream at least in this female Anteater is without doubt completely alive
Shirley is her name
Watching her study, it is clear that
there is no barrier she cannot tame
