The academic prepares
he reads and writes
and makes his head spin all around
pages and sheets
full of texts
broken down
so even
a squirrel could understand.
He memorises and repeats
his family thinks:
"He's caught some disease!"
But alas,
The day of reckoning is here
let's see how our academic fears
he walks into the room
with his teacher following soon
They sit and talk
not even noticing
the exam has begun
hours spent
of repeating texts and scribes
But "Oh whoops this one's wrong!"
The teacher sighs and groans
telling him to study some more
The academic sits there stunned
"Maybe Philosophy is my call."
Not my best work. I think I'll revisit this one sometime again
