What a Piece of Work is a MERLIN

Since it's always time for a Shakespearean cat parody, let's wax Merlinesque!

"What a piece of work is a MERLIN! How lacking in reason, how infinite in insensate purriness! In form and moving how spooky and impossible! In action how like a furry monster, in apprehension how like another furry monster! (Especially in terms of omnivoric capacity.) The insane toasted marshmallow beauty of the world! The self-appointed bitey paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of hairball? Barf delights not me. No, nor woman neither, though by my wife smiling she seems to suggest who's cleaning it up this time."

"(Talkin' 'Bout) My Education" (Sung to, "My Generation") -- A Postmodern Carol (#13 in a Series of 25)

Behold the new anthem for post-secondary education. Crank it.

Da-da's reissuing a few of these, featured in his third book...

(TALKIN' 'BOUT) MY EDUCATION

[sung to the tune of, "My Generation," with apologies to The WHO.]



People try to put it d-down (Talkin' 'bout my education)
Just because I goofed around (Talkin' 'bout indoctrination)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout indebted nation)
Hope I'm employed before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my education)

This is my education
This is my education, baby

Why don't you all t-t-trade away (Talkin' 'bout my allegation)
And don't try to sell what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my condemnation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my adaptation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my ed-d-d-ducation (Talkin' 'bout my education)

This is my education
This is my education, baby

Why don't you m-m-masquerade away (Talkin' 'bout your obfuscation)
And don't try to b-buy what they all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my suffocation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my demarcation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my ed-d-d-ducation (Talkin' 'bout my education)

This is my education
This is my education, baby

People pepper spray us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my fumigation)
Just because we sit around (Talkin' 'bout my liberation)
Things they do look awful s-s-sold (Talkin' 'bout your corporation)
Yeah, hope I die before I'm controlled (Talkin' 'bout my education)

This is my education
This is my education, baby
