Lori's Triumph

She passed! She passed! We’re all so proud!

The celebration’s long and loud

For my dear wife, who’s worked so hard

With pencil, book and index card

Studying for weeks on end

We barely even got to spend

Much time with her, the girls were sad

Making do with dear old Dad

While Mom, refusing to relax,

Learned theories, scientists and facts

All that stuff so she could be

Teaching Sociology

And so, today, with little rest

She headed off to take the test

Despite her nerves, she didn’t cry

She nailed it with a single try

So now I think we all concur

We are so very proud of her!
