The dangers of learning

I passed him in the hall today.
Dark, gloomy were his pensive eyes.
- Get lost, professah, go away!
- A "wanted man" am I.

-Why so sad? Are you not fed
-Exotic crumbs from foreign lands?
- Do not your ears feast as well
- On Babel, La Fontaine, Marvell?

Before I heard his full report
On joys of an enlightened life,
Security left but a spot
Of gourmet roach erudite.
