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
