Metzler

Today I learned about bankruptcy
And was morally diminished
By the time the professor had finished
For I was left bankrupt in spirit
And no longer could hear it!
Then came a lecture on psychoanalysis,
Which gave me paralysis
Indeed the meat heads lecture was manure
So one student ignored him and drew a picture
Perhaps others in the back of the room were asleep
But I was upfront where the discussion went deep
And by reason of the teachers psychoanalytical preference
I lost my point of reference
Within the morass of ideas
There was no escape, no panacea
Nevertheless he went on and on
As if he were competing for a decathlon
Yet despite his elitist self-opinion
I held my own thought processes
With all dominion
Resisting with all strength
As we carried on
I managed not to uplift him as an icon
For we were deep in the trenches of academia
With no means of escape
He was an intellectual barbarian
His mentor an ape
Yet in the midst of the intellectual masturbation
I boldly raised my hand
To pose a question
A question which pried
A question which tried
A question which undoubtedly said
Sir, to us you have lied.
And oh the laughter that hit the class
As the lid was lifted
From the can of verbiage
That had been spued
As if from an ass!
For many were the intellectual things he said
Yet we did not buy his bread
But we kept face in the center
Of this intellectual discussion
As we were swept away in derision
For he was our all in all
The answer to all our ills
The beginning and the end
For the sake of our grade in his class
Our closest friend
Yet by him we contracted dementia
In the trenches of academia.
