"And In Conclusion" with commentary

Toward the end of 1986, I decided to go back to school. I entered the School of Management at University of Massachusetts – Boston in January 1987. Almost immediately, I realized my mistake. There are a few moments in my life that I would love to redo, and near the top of my list is the day I had withdrawal papers in my hand but did not go through with it. Instead, I stuck it out at U. Mass for 4 years, graduating with a BS in Finance at the end of 1990. I’ve never used that degree, never had a finance job in my life.

And In Conclusion

© Brian Hutzell 1986

Go home to your mother

See if she can be bothered to care for you

Because I'm through

You've been nothing but trouble

Same as all the others

It's an inborn train

You're all the same

How'd I end up collecting you?

That was my first mistake

Another museum piece

Turned out to be a fake

My curator's eye must be losing sight

It's time to stop, divide the lot

And in conclusion, I would like to say

Goodbye, get away

Don't come back

Go on, carry on

Get off my back

So long, toodle-oo, fare thee well

I'm not needing you since you fell

I guess that concludes it

You're a part of my hobby

And you've been naughty

There are certain rules to adhere to

It's a case of give and take, with the rules I make

You mostly give; I mostly take

Our understanding gave me exclusive rights

You're getting demanding and I refuse to pay your price

Consider our contract null and void

I'll have to find another toy

And in conclusion, I would like to say

Vamoose! Adios! Close the book

Fine, what a shame

You got hooked

No more, out the door

Time to go

The end, not again

Hit the road

I guess that concludes it
