SO WHAT!  
or  Ode to Uncle Chuck

"So what"....growled uncle Chuck
(Charles O'Malley)
When he'd had enough.
His almost predictable
Dissertation time
Had arrived.
His succinct
Oratorial
Platitude
Delivered
With attitude
Usually somewhere between
Three and four
O'Keefes in the morning.
Only he knew
The content of his
Hypothesis
He would only reveal
The title.
Keeping his thesis
Secret.

Korsakoff
Perhaps had a more
Intimate relationship
With Uncle Chuck.
Maybe he knew
What Chuck meant
When he said
"So what!"
