College Tuition Goes Up and Up
College Tuition Goes Up and Up
By Elton Camp
There is hardly any college that even tries
To find a way it can reasonably economize
With their plans it doesn’t seem it need fit
Because they have found a money-filled pit
If the college’s finances should get a bit rough
Then on students & parents they make it tough
Tuition and fees they will raise again this year
Also the next year, so reductions they never fear
They think there’s no limit to what folks will pay
It doesn’t bother them to treat students that way
So they try to see just how much they can get
No matter about student loans and crushing debt
They hire deans, secretaries and assistants galore
So they just have to charge ever more and more
Greedy professors demand always increasing pay
Lest, like a herd of angry jackasses they will bray
But students may decide it isn’t worth the cost
And then to the colleges, everything will be lost
We will then see a bunch of unemployed slobs
For without enough students they will have no jobs
