overabundance of finals

these many words that make so little sense
will tell you nothing but may well confuse
one wonders why young people seem so dense

at least most aren't just sitting on the fence
but their ideas are mostly old refuse
these many words that make so little sense

my mind is tired and my mood is intense
i've much to do and little time to lose
one wonders why young people seem so dense

to erudition they make small pretense
their papers are so dull they make me snooze
these many words that make so little sense

one might say something in their works' defence
if one has been long inured to abuse
one wonders why young people seem so dense

the task this afternoon seems so immense
wasted ink and paper must annoy the muse
these many words that make so little sense
one wonders why young people seem so dense
