Ah, student-boy!
Sunglasses and cool,
He walks with the easy lope of the uninitiated
Dope,
Future mapped out, career planned,
Eyes on the greasy pole.
Someone foolish will give him a job on outrageous pay,
Fast-track him through management,
And still our hero will complain,
His lack of life-skills and wisdom no barrier
To the executive chair
And the greased-back hair.
Can’t understand it, myself;
From school through here to the job in one long blinkered crawl,
Producing an educated fool.
The arrogance of students, huh? No life-experience, no skills, just a piece of paper and expectations way beyond their reality.
