WITH A NOD TO CHAUCER

                    When in September and the year begins
                    For schools and colleges with noisy dins,
                    And all of summer’s lassitude dissolves
                    While students make new scholarly resolves,
                   Then texts are bought and sundry school supplies
                    As brains gone lax relearn to their surprise
                    That they can face the rigors of the year
                    As they advance their scholarly career.
