The Modern Academic’s Prayer
Lord, grant me knowledge,
But let it be neat;
Let it be packaged
Like socks on my feet.
Let it be something
I can carry around
And use for my pleasure
When others abound.
Let it be something
That fits in my pocket
Or something to wear
Like a gem in a locket.
Lord, let me know,
But not too much,
Lest Truth come a calling
And I lose my crutch.
