that I finally get to say

all the things that I couldn't

back in da school days

 

when, you know, your teacher didn't teach shit

but if you said anything then you'd just get hit

with a rude remark and probably a bad grade

so you just held it in and hoped the anger would fade

 

but now, haha!, it's my turn to talk

and let you know how much you sucked

cuz you always came to class late

while making the students sit there and wait

 

looking like fools with nothing to do

when, in fact, you know that's not true

we had so much homework, thanks to you

but didn't know how to do it, which ain't cool

 

And why didn't we know, you ask?

first of all, it was NOT because of our own lack

of skills or effort or knowledge

but because you were the toughest part of college

 

never posting the assignment until the day before it was due

and then expecting us to finish it like we're, oh, I don't know, the owl from Purdue

or talking so fast and writing so small that we couldn't even read

the mathematical calculations you were expecting us to see

 

claiming it's so easy that you could do it as a freshman in high school

well, guess what, not everyone is born with a genius calculator brain tool

so we actually need someone who will show us the ropes

so that we can rely on a mentor and not just empty hope

 

that if we work hard and pay some good old fashioned attention

then maybe, just maybe, we'll grasp some of the crap that you're teaching

and, yes, we can rise above and beyond our own expectations

because we had access to real professors, not just our imaginations

 

and, believe me, I did vent it out in those course evalutations

but who knows if they actually lead to any considerations

about changing how you teach or conduct business

so, honestly, it's not even worth all the stress

 

also I just wanted to let y'all know

that I wrote this poem in five minutes flat

which means nothing other than to show

that there's been a lot of built-up crap

 

so to those of you who really cared and taught me a thing or two

I would like to say a very sincere 'thank you'

and to those of you who couldn't care less about us

well, all I can say is, you pretty much just suck
