PhD blues?

why didn't i do
a more thrilling phd
this is mind numbing

i want to go home
and hammer bits of my bike
hopefully for good.

1 more hour to go
then a thrilling lab meeting
i'll have to endure

but tomorrow brings
not another day of this
something else instead.

should have the day off
in order to drive to wales
but that's not to be

instead i will come
and analyse my data
ready for monday

also need to change
my oxygen cylinder
as it's running low

hopefully i'll be
able to leave by lunchtime
that would be so sweet.

then outside i'll go
and enjoy the warm sunshine
unless it's raining.

then instead i'll go
home and go straight to my room
hide under covers

or go into town
get a photo for license
yes i can drive now!

such freedom it brings
even though i've not a car
in my posession

maybe that will change
sooner rather than later
would be much better

however, it's true,
my finances cannot cope
with such purchase now.

still i can lust for
a small car that's big enough
for me and my bike.
