Postdoc Blues

So your presentation went terrible All wrong dongles, sweat stains and stares Leave the TV on with the sound down low in your underwear Don’t despair you’ll get it right tomorrow night In Thunder Bay, maybe Don’t delay, your day is short You can’t afford to wait I believe in you and your PowerPoints I know why you can’t stay away Out on Highway 1 with the rental car and a lot to say Don’t despair you’ll get it right tomorrow night In Nipigon, maybe Don’t delay, our day is short You can’t afford to wait So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it And recommit yourself to the healing of the world And to the welfare of all creatures upon it Pursue of practice that will strengthen your heart
