The Graduate<\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shiny sturdy ravens all<\/p>\n

They stride into the ancient hall<\/p>\n

and take their designated places<\/p>\n

after tentatively, anxiously scanning faces<\/p>\n

at the back, where proud parents silently catcall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Velvet bejewelled masters all<\/p>\n

They glide into the ornate hall<\/p>\n

Indulgent pride in their speeches<\/p>\n

touches the young ears, teaches<\/p>\n

the congregation. The words enthral.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ceremony begins, black-robed all<\/p>\n

They line-up nervous, they mustn\u2019t fall<\/p>\n

through the careful walk across the stage.<\/p>\n

The handshake and blessing mark their page<\/p>\n

and then, they are Graduates after all.<\/p>\n
