Understudy Buddy

under the microscope: Let's examine
unavailable, classes evading
unstocked pantry for feast or famine
under-studied, (reflected in grading)
under construction: mental blockading
unfocused on visions he should observe
unmasked after years of masquerading
unfaithful servant, unwilling to serve
uncanny abilities to un-nerve
unquestioning, (not very quizzical)
unswinging strike, (never could hit the curve)
unconcerned with the metaphysical
unprepared for any upcoming quiz
underachieving. He is what he is.

Appears your understudy buddy
Needs a lot of work
If all he does
Is his duties shirk

Interesting piece, thank you

Apricot MkY and was struck by the word-play. So I came to read more of your work. I like the continuity and the rap sounding pace. You certainly have a way with words. I am going to go read the rest of your works. ~ Geezer.
