Shakespearean Fool As The Head Of The Deptt Of English, A Varsity Professor Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

He had not to be a professor of the varsity deptt. of English,
But instead of, heading now,
As many of them retired
And the posts fell vacant.

But see his fate, he came in just after his M.A. in English
And B.Ed.,
Now doing his Ph.D. somehow hurriedly
To be a reader and a Ph.D. guide.

While the other villagerly fellow who had been in
A block-level private college,
Later declared constituent
Switched over to a big college.

Again, took he a major jump
When the new university was opened
And he joined the nearby campus
To be the head of the department of English.

Now calls he himself a guide, a varsity officer
That very villager turned into a speaker of English,
A proud master of the Shakespearean language not, literature,
Strutting and walking on tip-toe.
