Educated Birds
At the top of the educational pile
Sits the PhD with a knowing smile
As birds go he’s rather rare
Often assuming a superior air
He sits upon his lofty perch
and ruffs his feathers
While looking down on his less learned brothers
For getting jobs
Nothing works like a doctors degree
At a junior college or even a university
A little farther down the mound
The Masters of this and that are found
The MA and the MS too are good
For getting work
But some end up
As a mailman or a grocery clerk
A BA or a BS is no doubt very nice
But the question is
Is it really worth the price?
Then there is the AA and the AS
What are they good for?
Nothing one can think of
Except perhaps a transfer
In the end, the rarest bird
On the educational fence
Is the one that has acquired
Some degree of common sense
