Parasitic Capacity

A graduate student lecturer
His point inscrutable
Holds forth on a circuitous topic
Like literate cattle
We low to one another
In staring bovine incomprehension
Even the native-speaking 3^rd years
Confess their dumbfoundedness
Turns out it was on parasitic capacitances
In high-frequency amplifiers
Of course it was the basis for my final
A taste of French litotes, pas terrible
In real estate and sex
It's all about location, location, location
With electrical engineers
It's all about frequency, frequency, frequency
And doing it in superposition
Male versus female perspective?
Oh, to be a high-frequency amplifier
But without the capacity for parasitism
Is it possible to amplify the output of another
While taking nothing back for oneself?
