Graduation Buy my book Amazon.com/author/richardratliff Picked up my sons cap and gown At the campus book store in the college town The clerk was so thrilled Congratulated me and ask Is a masters gown to get down No a bachelors I said You should be so proud Having graduated after all these years Couldn't spoil her confusion. I just went along with her illusion Told her it took nearly 40 years Had to work full time and such The effort was almost too much But I finally made it I then put it the trunk Of my alumni plated Benz Heading off to my son's graduation Copyright 2014 Richard L Ratliff
