...waiting room for 77s and 78s
by Charlie Morganwalking, waking dreamers carrying
innocent sheets of paper, that are guilty!
they carry a message of haves and have-nots
separated by the power of an ordinal number.
77s, go in that line, pick up
the Jack & Jill Reader.
78s, in that line, pick up
Einstein's Theoretical Suppositions.
77s, don't run with scissors and
stay away from that hot stove.
78s, do what you want just
make sure you're back by supper.
77s, go on and suffer, that's your role;
never succeed, and never achieve.
78s, get on outa here;
the banks need presidents.

Author's Note: we use a testing instrument for incoming freshmen and freshwomen too, [know any?,just askin'] anyway the cut-off score for the reading to get into a college level course is 78 and 77 you're shunted to a less than wanted class...underwater basket weaving 1301...
