Friday poetry challenge: aiming for mediocrity

Comparing notes with colleagues at yesterday's Faculty Council meeting, I learned that if someone had called a special meeting at 4 a.m., we would have had a quorum. Everyone is overwhelmed, no one is sleeping, and yet we carry on--just barely.

Which is why today my primary goal is simply to be an adequate teacher. I aim for mediocrity! Excellence will have to wait for another day.

Just for today
I'll be okay.

Mediocrity
is the thing for me.

My teachy stuff
is just enough.

No home-run hit--
just adequate.

But that's okay.
(Just for today.)
