Everyone's a genius
but if that is so
it makes the word genius
meaningless,

I think it's ok.

remember what the teacher said?
do your homework and you'll get a good job
which was bollix
i did a nine-to-five mundane
Monday to Friday and they made me
redundant
and now I'm working at home
doing the ironing
part-time Tuesday evening.

are you fed up with it?
no!
not even a little bit?
****,
it must only be me
that can't see the sea
for the ocean.
