Weekend Envy

I signed up all excited

Higher education beckoned

But now I’m feeling somewhat mitred

My wings are clipped

I am not soaring

My shoulders bowed and head is dipping

Immersed in writing

and in referencing.

I do not care just where periods go

Does it really matter if I misplace a comma too

In the reference list so long and dreary

It’s Saturday night, the footy’s on

And I am editing and will be for so long.
