"I've Got a Bad Case of Lovin' You"

Doctor, Doctor:
Give me the News
 
Doctor Jill Biden,
our Second Lady
insists on being
called DOCTOR,
and if you Google
her: it’s Doctor!
Doctor! all over
the place like
a first name.
 
ELLEN introduced
her as DOCTOR
along side of
Michelle just
plain Michelle; &
Jill is DOCTOR
not Just Jill,
having secured
her  Doctorate in
Education and
determined to
wear the title.
 
Hers is a
DOCTORATE
and not a PhD
which carries the
onus of philosophy
tucked into the
title & we here
are a faculty of
philosophers
of physics &
math, chemistry
& biology, etc
philosophers up
the wazoo.
 
Plethora: but no
one would call
us philosophers
philosophizing
philosophically
muzzy musing
chewing cud
and ruminating.
 
We are practical
minded & pragmatic.
GetRdone & covering
ground; we might could
characterize ourselves
as cogent analyzers,
critical thinkers
relishing conceptual
tasks required by our
assignments & course
materials: originating
ideas often insightful
with well-chosen
examples; reasoning
persuasively to develop
& support our theses;
using quotations &
citations  effectively;
& linking causal
connections between
ideas: evident &
appropriate--clear,
smooth transitioned
arrangements of
purposeful argument
progressing toward
unexpected  but
anticipated conclusions,
with sophisticated  &
varied  sentences
effectively choosing
words aptly; observing
conventions of  standard
English & making  few
technical errors in
formatting & punctuation:
this would be us doing
 “A” work.  “A,” I said.
Do I have to be spelling
“A” out for you?
 
Doctors, Docents, & Docility:
these 3 and the greatest of
these is docility: capable of
being  taught & willing to
receive training & teachable
momentum.

xxxooo, Prevention of Lead Poisoning
Crew.
