Not Good Enough, Do It Again

15 hours on this fucking essay,
And you just hand it back with a valedictory
'not good enough, do it again'
You're seriously failing me for having my own ideas?
For using big words of my own,
Not quoting just to bulk up the word count?
Funny how it's mine you fail.
All I'm getting is
'not good enough, do it again'.
1500 words on a 19th century novel;
'not good enough, do it again'.
2000 words on religious poetry;
'not good enough, do it again'.
2500 words on social inequalities;
'not good enough, do it again'.
3000 words on why you should all get the fuck off my back;
'not fucking good enough, do it a-fucking-gain'
Education's over-rated anyway.
