A NEW COURSE AT UNIVERSITY
We all know of art, English, science
and good old history,
Languages, politics, computers and
hard bio-chemistry,
Applied arts, literature, economics and
learning geography,
But how many know of a course in
interesting stupidity!
My daughter mentioned this to me just
the other day,
And the thought in my active mind
happened to stay.
I suppose you’d have to have a port-folio
to show the faculty,
I wondered how clever for a stupid course
you’d have to be.
How much paper would be used on theses
and every test!
And now the question if they do well and
try their very best,
Pass with high honours in this stupid
doctorate degree,
Are they more stupid than those who fail
really miserably!
Or is the shoe on the other foot and the
failures are more stupid,
For at least the winner have learned and stupid
talents no longer hid.
Please think about this dilemma and set
my mind at rest.
Who are the more stupid ones?
Those who failed or passed the test!!!
