Gap Year

Yeah, it’s true

I’ve got a PHD 

in fuck all, 

I know 

it will serve 

me well,

I’ll wear it as 

a badge of honour

as I travel Australia 

waxing banana boards,

and wrestling alligators,

the great agitator of the 

Portuguese man o’ war,

it’s what Gap years 

were made for,

I could backtrack 

and educate 

myself in physics, 

enter the Nobel peace prize

and probably win it, 

I’ll forget my student debt

my parents will 

take care of it,

the gap year! 

you've got to love it, 

it’s a beautiful excuse 

to shirk responsibilities
