no one wants / a dissertation

no one wants to let someone down
(with oh so many obligations)
family tribe city n'town
we write our words with consternation

full-time and parts (both little and small)
making times for all the things
we have to do to do them all
knaves knights queens n'kings

in the noble court we are but guests
(with oh so many nominations)
adventure journey riddles n'quests
that rid us of denominations

when by now we ought to know
what's whispered in our weathered ears
that if to make fame's fortune grow
we cast aside the feathered fears

someone must let no one down
(cancelling all reservations)
smile wince furrow n'frown
then focus on a dissertation.
