I told this guy a story of lost love
and heartbreak so he’d know
what kind of lines to use
when he had to present his list of lies
to the class the next day
but the professor wasn’t feeling it
and it was an unceremonious
‘that’s enough’ that finally
put the fella down and I
wish he’d listened a bit closer
to my story ‘cuz maybe if he had
he wouldn’t have enrolled
in that difficult of a class
in the first place.
