Postdoc Blues

Postdoc Blues - John K. Samson

So your presentation went terrible

All round 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

Thunder bay maybe

Don't delay your day is short

You can't afford to wait

I believe in you and your powerpoint

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

Ithica 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
