Description
By Knowledge Unsullied
The way you gut a catfish, trim a sail,
Or how a host concocts the perfect martini,
What the blazes is a farthingale,
The names of all the operas by Puccini,
All this escapes mealong with winning at poker,
Tiling a bathroom, cheating bees of their honey,
Dancing beyond a score of mediocre,
Talking sports, or making a pile of money.
Equating learning with earning, most are aghast.
You worthless dimwit, they say, you must feel dejected.
Au contraire! My cluelessness unsurpassed,
Such matchless ignorance has got to be respected.
A gorge gigantic, gaping, without flaw:
Not even the Grand Canyon commands such awe.

Person
T. J. King, PhD, is author of a novel, The Great Matrimonial Debate (Xlibris, 2000), and a memoir, By Blessings Bewildered (America House, 2000). Addicted to writing sonnets in his retirement, he vaguely remembers a previous life in which for thirty years he taught English and literature at American River College, Sacramento. He resides with his wife, Dar, in Carmichael, California.
