A Dairy of An Opsimath

Thirty years of my life have flown pass I am in danger of being typecast Working 9 – 5 everyday For nothing but minimum pay It’s at this time I decided to change Find a way to exchange My mundane life that I have lived Into something I myself have derived Back to university for me To study a degree A degree in what is yet to be seen I just need to decide whilst I’m still green I am proud to call myself an opsimath Its taken me years to find my path Now, that I am on the right track There is no turning back I’m the oldest in my class by far But please don’t label me and put me in a jar Please don’t discard me like a used tissue At the end of the day I’m the same as you Fingers crossed this will be a new start A new page on my flip chart Three years in university here we go! hopefully, I will update you again in a year or so....
