An Ode

Chaia Werger

Fountain of knowledge, keeper of wisdom, I thank thee for thy bounty and thy grace.

For you have stayed beside me throughout my years of folly (of which there have been many), delivering me from uncertainty and ignorance.  When I was low, you helped me rise up, provided me with insight, sagaciousness, understanding.  For this, I thank you, urbandictionary.com, for I would be lost without you.

As a pre-adolescent, I needed guidance, and you were there. My naivete was vast: I thought head was what came after neck.  But you were with me to turn my gaze downward, and I was grateful.

As a teenager, I looked to you to keep me informed about the goings-on of my classmates.  I no longer contemplated in vain the meanings of phrases detonating sexual conquest, or wondered how much dosh I need to get a dubsack.
