Challenge of the Week CLXXX
The Craziest Idea. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
College gang
The craziest thing you can do
Is be poor
And stupid, too.
I've been told I can
Anything is possible
I wake up early
Study late
But I'm not revolutionary
No scholarship for me
I can't be Will Hunting
When teachers here barely make a living
I can't be Mother Theresa
Because at 17 I don't have the charisma
If I can't
Volunteer and have a job
Be class president and have a perfect GPA
Captain the track team and debate
Should I just GTFO? lol
The real privilege is affording to be dumb.
And thus henceforth I shall create a nest effervescent
Of mine iniquitous no-job slob lyfe
Whilst I make some friends
I hear it's tough for graduates
Getting broke for something worthless
Well, I can't even do that
But I also can't get a job
So I'll play nice and fit right in
