“Retire Tenure”

Confused is what he is.

Clarity is not his strong suit.

Read the book, everything’s there!

Don’t you do your homework?

I think you are wasting your time here.


I assigned a book for a reason,

so don’t ask me,

LOOK IT UP!


It’s not there each student cries!!

Anyone have a book, I’ll show you where!

He points to a page with ambiguous words,

See!

It’s there!

You just don’t want to do the work.


While in the minds of many, he interprets the author’s work,

that has no true meaning.

What a total jerk.


This is no rare occurrence,

and happens with the chair’s assurance.

But hush! Don’t say a word!

Because department flaws

have your grades in their claws.
