Perpetual shame

As the lady was a Swedish terrorist, I managed to get off with community service. It made me miss graduation. The net effect of this was that I felt my peers slip through my hands long before I slipped through theirs.

At age 50 I opened up the tome of Yearbook for the engineering school. What we had done, it was clear to me that the professor had somehow relayed results of an educational class for entry-level students. Those kids thought we were pouring our hearts into them, yet in actuality we were no more than selfish doctors conducting private experiments. Much had been cleared up, erstwhile a stagger remained.

They had all the resources of knowledge from what we had done. Yet it remained, my solution, which we had not done. For I only solved it today and it never hit the presses. Got no monkey on my back. And I'm never gonna cry. Because it's a good life, too good to lose.

(Might be a good idea to explain WHY you take the magazine OUT of the Glock BEFORE you move the slide back to check the chamber to see if it is cleared. Experienced people know why, but beginners might not and 1 in a million might experience an accidental discharge.)

Be penitent and penetrate
Between the liquor and all these lies
See past the bruises of your hate
Come face to face and meet your Fate
