But only the idiots, like all of us, are going into English...

Ain't that the glorious, glorious truth.

This post inspired me to write an impromptu poem.

We are the intellectual elite:

The economy is failing,

We have no money,

No prospects;

So we decide to go

To graduate school,

Where we will perhaps:

Get accepted,

Get paid above the poverty line,

Get a job.

But this is all wishful thinking.

We made the educated choice.

We are the intellectual elite.
