I’ve been out of school for far longer than I care to admit. But I still have nightmares that go something like this:
School Daze (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I crammed for the test—studied madly.
But, alas, I’m afraid I did badly
Cause I choke under stress.
I go blank. I’m a mess!
Take a do-over test? Yes, please. Gladly!
Accounting For That CPA
By Madeleine Begun Kane
This accountant is no CPA,
Though he hopes to become one some day.
The exams are a trial,
But they’re surely worthwhile:
He’ll track money for much better pay.
