A Master's End

This time of year, always the same, I count the weeks, two more remain. No, not to shop or trim the tree, And not to eat nor dream of thee. It’s living hell, this place I sit. My ass is numb, two smokes are lit. They start a fire in my ashtray, For butts have piled there all the day These coffee rings adorn my table, And Webster’s spine is no more able. My brain is gone, no neurons spark. To sign my name? A measly mark. It’s 3 a.m., more sections wait, This paper thinks I’ll take the bait! I grin and giggle gleefully, Who wins this battle? Oh, we shall see! So printer runs used crumpled papers, And bubbled ink it prints only vapors. It shreds, it shrikes, it rips to pieces! I’m sorry, Doc, the dog ate my thesis. 11/24/00
