groper lips speak
vowels fall forth
chipped pearls of wisdom
skitter about the ground
seeking purchase
in mud pockets
finding only dry sand
and bitter salt

******* in salt
for forty years
can do that
curdle the cream
of wisdom leaving
just the sour to spew out

but if clever you can sift
the  detrius and make
cheesecake with
chipped pearls  on top
there is a point in some academic's life...when the tipping point is met
and they just teach by rote....it is then up to the students to glean what wisdom they can...at least until some one gives the churlish academic a slap upside the head.....we at present have this situation in my dept( no it is not me) ....time to get my slapping gloves out....
