Tonight I wrote a poem

Pedantry

sometimes your pedantry is beautiful
but sometimes it just bothers me
that you know so much more french than me
that your vocabulary is better than a dictionary
then you look at me with those eyes that know things i will never know
and you see me in your picture and it gives me aspirations
but i'll never match your knowledge and i'll never be a scholar
and every new thing you discover will only serve to tease me further
and every hundred dollar word you throw away
i will pick up in my unlearned lips and scream to give it meaning
sometimes your pedantry is beautiful
but sometimes it's just demeaning.
