Professor K

He’s from Harvard and wears a tie, that young old man

Walks a little stooped around the campus

With often a solemn practice

A poet, who writes not a poem

Is a student of Wilhelm

So what he teaches

Is all about Cathay’s reaches

Or Waley’s Confucius

The man, yin and yang

Is but twenty-nine
