Air Mail, Special

--by Sister M. Philip, CSC

Dear Saint Thomas,

Help me please,
With Medians and Frequencies,
Sham Credentials and Degrees.

Norms and Tendencies appear
To be less clutter-proof this year,
And Lesson-Plans are techni-clear.

Great Aquinas, hear my cry,
Nor let my laughter buried lie
Beneath Techniques and Syllabi!

And lest, perchance, you should conclude
That care-worn teachers all are rude,
Pardon, please, if I intrude.

Beside a glory-vibrant stall
We have met before. Recall?
Two dumb beasts who shared it all.
