Today’s word is “emulous” ... desirous of equaling or excelling. (Dictionary.com)
Think
Writing, writing, writing,
Papers and dissertations,
Pen in mouth, eyes in a squint,
His was a learning station.
Books piled into little towers,
Schedules on the wall,
He was emulous of knowledge,
And did not want to fail or fall.
So he spent his hours and days,
Feet held to the fire,
Concentrating on the prize,
To which he did aspire.
