The College Graduation

The College Graduation By Elton Camp To a life of prosperity, you see Your college degree is the key Commencement speaker did say Each and every expected cliché “Not an end, but a beginning The race of life you’re winning” “Why, the first thing that you know You will be bringing in lots of dough” But as was the college’s intention Certain things he didn’t mention Jobs will prove hard to come by No matter how hard they may try Massive student loans come due What will the hapless grads do?
