Professor on a Perch
High above a hallowed groundHastened to profess his sound
His academic prowess abound
A tailored suit of feathers starched
Black tie with tails affair in larch
Breast replete, back is arched
Traipsing with presumptuous gaze
Traversing the networked vertical maze
Commencing in melodic phrase
Mimicked song varies not
A rhythmic form, absent thought
Echoes through the wooded wrought
A composer in his intellect
Sans appendage to direct
Students hidden in each crooked neck
Completing his requisite call
He leaps, diving into free-fall
Gliding, leveling, wings a'sprawl
