Apology

This is my apology To all of my family Who spent their hard earned currency For my education willingly I started out initially Seeking an Accounting degree Then Finance was my destiny But switched to, um, oh let me see Next I tried Philosophy And read Plato and Socrates But there was no way I’d agree With their thoughts entirely I undertook Psychology As a Sigmund Freud wannabe But found his ego had simply Gone far beyond the likes of me I had a go at Sociology But when linking the bourgeoisie To the simple chimpanzee I was far up the wrong tree So next there was Psychiatry In which I’d earn a PHD But there was no way I could see How drugs could cure a malady So then I picked Astronomy With all those far off galaxies But no one there could guarantee That we’d get to visit Mercury And when I switched to History I learned tales of war and misery But in time that stuff bored me Coz man repeats the same story I then sampled Physiology But switched to the Anatomy Tried Biology, and Chemistry, Zoology, and Botany But all those subjects, truthfully Where not within my pedigree Even though they’d pay handsomely They would never be my cup of tea At last I chose, curiosity Coz that would be the best for me With a minor in rhyme-ology And since then have lived quite happily
