’tending college ain’t what’s rumored to be.
’tis really all about employer ’ceptance in our society.
 
high-grade A’s’re not so hard to make:
just get yourself informed as far as what a sole professor wants; then heave it back at him—or her—on any test you take.
 
’tis plain to see (by even me)
I learn more of value from the bluest sky and darkest sea …
 
and from my yardly feral critters
(’long with their endearing, playful litters) …
 
and myself …
 
than ever I did get from friggin’ university.
