The Truth About Degrees

-Argghh! Get away from here!

Your very sight fills me with disdain

It is because of you that I squandered the most wonderful years of my life

-Ahh! Why do you speak with such bitterness?!

I am your degree.

Do you recall the first time when you earned me

How affectionately you hung me on the wall?

You worked hard for 15-16 years to obtain me!

Then, what happened today?

-What happened?!

I wasted 16 years of my life earning you

And today when I’m trying to encash you for a square meal

You’re not even worth a whistle!
