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
