When Life Seems Impossible

                                                               
 When life seems impossible              
   No one cares if you live or die…   
      Change your hair, show up early 
            Put out that extra effort,  sigh a lot

                 Dress to the nines and carry a flamboyant book       
   Make a fancy lunch, eat it lavishly     
                      Sit close to the action sipping expensive water
         When they call on you ignore them

           Tell them you are working on more important things
            While studying offers from their competitors
       When they come to escort you out
         Speak clearly into your lapel

           Asking,  “did the cameras get all that?”
             Done properly                              
                  This should get you at least        
 
         Two weeks room and board at state expense.
