Uni course or Uni curse 😌

 

 

Three years extended to four years

Four years extended to five years

Five years extended to six years

Six years extended to NUF years

 

Time flies - Youth dies

Our prize is wise

Book piles - touch skies

One mile becomes thrice

 

Semester exams come in the queues

Mid and quizzes with confuse

Can't imagine about the clues

Here we go for the bad pursue

 

Dull lectures in hallways

Secret captures in the napping place

Signing sheets and passing sweets

Someone sleeps - someone cheats

 

Same age peer - not admitted here

Now they have there - wedding ring pair

Same age peer - not admitted here

Now they have there - Little baby to care

Same age peer - not admitted here

Now they have there - low income scare

Same age peer - not admitted here

Now they have there - their business heir

 

Things we earned here

Are another bunch of peers

Plus the ladder of careers

Then we go for the cheers

 

When we made friends over a beer

Then break-up stories there

When we made a tea without fear

Too much sugar complaints there

When we slept hours on chairs

Someone was covering us there

When we woke overnight here

Many shitty stories were heard there

 

We came here

to  find something rare

And

We could,

We couldn't,

Though we couldn't

Chill the real youth

We could collect memories

Surrounded our minds

 

Though a curse,

Though a blessing,

Both purely depend on us
