Finished my OU course for this year and wrote a small poem to celebrate…
…
Thank goodness I’ve finished, it’s all over now
No studies, no writing, no more furrowed brow
‘Twas a really long slog, but no time for a bow
I’ve lots to catch up on. Oh, holy cow!
…
The plan needs revising, the register’s lame
The project review, now that’s a crap game
I’d rather be playing with my PC game
But no rest is allowed, and that’s a big shame
…
Technology beckons, it’s massive you know —
I need to keep working or end up on skid row
The week’s booked up solid, Outlook is aglow
I’m dreaming of drinking some nice red Bordeaux
…
But has it been worth it, this Open crusade?
We’ll find out at Christmas if results aren’t delayed
At least I’ve more time for a nice promenade,
Spend time with the family and make lemonade
…
More time for my work
Head down for a perk
Clear up the knee jerks
And avoid all the shirks
…
Thanks for your patience, it makes it worthwhile
To know that my friends are so versatile!
They send me their mail with a big happy smile
And hope I’ll respond, with a shiny new file
…
Just one more small task
And then I can bask —
Send the marker my task
And open the flask!
…
But wait, what’s that sound?
Sounds like something profound,
All grating and grinding, enough to astound —
I’ve a disk in my drive that’s the wrong way around!
…
The disk drive has crashed and the C drive is trashed
My face is all red and I’m really abashed
My work has all gone, it’s clearly all dashed —
I’d better go out and get totally lashed!
…
The end.
