Poetry With Hart

Sadly, we defunded education long ago
Sometime before the printing press
Or the loom, or perhaps
Just after the doomsday clock
Played a midnight symphony or two

… Wait that doesn’t sound quite right.
Was it before or after the avian flu?
What was the price of eggs at the time?
Were blonde baboons hitting golf balls
Weekly, hoping to someday hit the moon?

I’m not too sure
And that’s too bad.
I wish I had stayed in school.
I wish I still had
The choice.
