Today I found a joke: philosophy.
To some it wasn’t funny--oh, but see
The few, the odd, the suckers know the game:
Our majors in the subject are insane.
We’re masochistic to the n’th degree,
We read books twice and then we go for three;
That’s just to understand two pages’ worth.
I wish that I were like the Yankee Smurf (¹)
To study Poli Sci is such a dream.
I have the thinking skills of sour cream.
I should have gone for art or history,
I’d even go for math, though "Math is tough!"
But now you know what I put on my tree. (²)
Screw grad school: four years was enough.
¹ Yankee Smurf: nickname of a Political Science major friend of mine.
² We use diagrams that resemble trees to map what courses we want to sign up for each semester.
