"Justin Thyme Goes Back to School"

I decided to go back to school to get an education.
Since I'm no longer in the 'stute, I needed compensation
To pay for electricity and monthly rent and stuff,
And working at the library just didn't pay enough.

So, anyway, I thought and thought about what I should study.
There were so many choices that my mind was getting muddy!
I got a little worried that I might go quite insane.
I didn't like the thought of living in the 'stute again!

I got the catalogue from Kansas U to view my choices.
But while perusing through each page, I started hearing voices!
I'm telling you, I truly thought that I had lost my marbles
When seeing class descriptions which were boring, words all garbled!
The syllabuses made me wonder if any career
Would suit me to a T, as voices whispered in my ear.

One voice spoke, "Justin, turn the page, you should become a writer."
And so I did, but realized I'd die broke, I was brighter
Than that! I thought, and then another voice piped in, "Please hurry!
The art classes are filling up." But I was judge and jury.
An artist? That's ridiculous! I'd end up eating pizza!!
I tried that once, they locked me up for painting Mona Lisa!

And so I read each course description written for the picking.
I thought and thought and read and read ignoring voices tricking!
And pretty soon, I made a good decision, head still reeling
Up in the stars. ASTROLOGY! Yes, that subject had me feeling
Incredible and happy since I do love constellations!
I shall be an Astrologist! Oh, what a fine vocation!!

But then another voice inside my head said, "No, no, Justin!
There is a better subject which will take much less adjustin'."
There is? I asked. What is it then? Pray tell. What subject's better?
My heart beat in anticipation and my palms got wetter!
The voice continued, "Yes,  I know you like Astrology,
But I suggest that you consider this...... Proctology."

Proctology? What IS that?, I then asked the aberration.
"It's lucrative", he answered, "And takes little education.
This coursework will take little Thyme, in college, you won't linger.
And afterward, you'll have credentials To give ALL the finger!"
AHA! I answered, this sounds GREAT! Lord knows no 'stute could hold me!!!
And quickly I filled out the  application, like he told me.

No better work for me, I said, and thanked the voice quite kindly,
I signed my name upon the line, applying sort of blindly.
There's something to be said about these voices which can guide me.
Just please don't tell the white suit guys that they are still inside me!
I'll never be a doctor or a lawyer or a singer,
But God I cannot wait 'til I can give them all the finger!

From now on I will double check my doctors degrees and make sure they don't have the name Justin anywhere in their name.

inot2B, that sounds to me
Like a real good plan.
Butt let me make this clear, my dear,
I don't think you're a man.
Butt if you want Proctology
I'm sure some Doc would do ya,
Without a kiss, they'll bill you too,
That's just the way they screw ya!

Elizabeth, I've decided I have no patience.

Snoog - my friend, please don't be rude,
What was so darn confusing?
It's just a little poetry,
I hoped you'd find amusing!
But then again, I have no clue
'Bout what the lines are saying.
And if you have had Justine Uff,
I'll now admit, I'm playing.
So keep your hands off off my sis,
Justine don't need confusion,
And I don't want to cause you grief
Or give you a contusion.
I'm really no Proctologist,
This whole thing was quite bogus,
So please don't read between the lines
And get your eyes unfocused.
You'll never figure out this Thyme
There's no sense in the reading.
I'm quite insane. That should be plain
To see, if I'm succeeding
At writing nonsense, meaningless,
My whole goal to confuse you.
And so I guess, this Thyme it worked.....
I sure wish I amused you!

________
hehe,
just me, J.T.

Yo Bro – we're back at school this year
I think I'll study making beer
In botany class we'll brew some hops
And give some to the Stute's fine cops

Then Justin Ebriated can have some
And we can sleep and chew some gum
Put Shirley's tails in Justin Kwells
And start a ruckus when that quells

And we can plot with Justine Uff
Things we can do right off the cuff
We two are Justin Comparable
The Stute's Justin Conceivable

We Justin Bro won't be the dunce
We've done it more times than just once
If things go wrong there's more ahead
We'll plan anew with Justin Stead
