Dr. Melendez's Head Is Now Quite Full

August 30, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is humor.

Today’s poem is a humorous name poem for someone who has just earned a doctorate.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Dr. Melendez's head is now quite full,

Replete with the most recent rabid ravings.

Most of what he's learned, of course, is bull,

Elicited to strip him of his savings.

Learned thoughts, like clothes, must follow fashion,

Ending up, again like clothes, as trash.

Nor is it easy not to want to cash in,

Defending with one's platitudes one's stash.

Even so, one can success deserve,

Zealous not to conquer, but to serve.
