I Love Overeducated Women

My father’s parents
Met in high school
And dated while in college
And supported one another
As they each earned
College degrees

Mom’s mother
Moved to the city
To study
Accounting
Before earning her degree
And supporting her family
During the Great Depression
As a bank manager
And the town’s only
CPA

My mother
And all eight,
Yes eight,
Aunts attended
College and earned
Degrees.

This tradition
Continued with my
Sisters, cousins, nieces,
And their kids
Because education
Enriches life

I love
overeducated
women

Do you love overeducated women?
