Comfortably Dumb

(Professor)

Hello, Is there anybody in here?

Just nod if you can hear me, Is there anyone in class?

Wake up, I have some information, folks

Just the basic facts: Do you think you can take notes?

Write something, I’m giving information, Liz

Here are all the facts, yes this is on the quiz

-------

(Student)

What are your views about scatology?

And the impotence of salivation history?

I’m in concordance with the professor

The Macadamian revolt was quite messy

Near Easter texts spoke of changing customers

Long ago before most can remember

And now because of anti-semantic views he didn’t have a backbone to stand on

Is there an anecdote to this?

I have become comfortably dumb

(Professor)

Ok, Just a little quizzie

You didn’t study?--(Student) aaaaaahhhhh! (Professor) That’s why you’re feeling sick

Come on now, I hear you snoring loud

Use that coffee cup, see if you can wake up

--------

(Student)

I have never had a problem with testing

‘Til the last year of my senior year of high school.

It’s also not my fault if my writing’s bad

I checked it, my computer checked it too

Why do we have more than one textbook

When what they say is sometimes the same?

My insolvent in the many facists of this class as I intercept

The comic signs in the heavens

I have become comfortably dumb
