cast aways in poetry

The Professor saw there were two women way out of his league on that ship.
The Professor saw the only others were an elderly couple and two gay guys.
The Professor used his super brain and he did the math.
The Professor did what any of us would have.
The Professor sunk that boat.

The Professor knew there was an uncharted island there.
HE’S A PROFESSOR.
He knew he could undermine his every fake plan and
blame it on the Captain’s power bottom.
None of those inventions were even supposed to work,
we wasn’t a professor of biology or chemistry,
he was a professor of PSYCHOLOGY.
And he did what any of us would have.

Sometimes you just find a seam,
that’s what they call it in football,
you find a seam,
you see a little daylight between the tackles and you know
if you can get through that there’s anywhere you can go
whether it’s the game-winning touchdown
or being the only option for a cute little redhead and
a total brunette smokeshow.
The bells of opportunity went off in his little genius brain
don’t throw around the blame
you would’ve done the same.

Which would you rather take
which would you rather have
unappreciated community college psych professor
or trapped in paradise with Ginger and Mary Anne?
And even if it went down wrong
he had a back-up plan
get a place in the old man’s will and wait.
He wouldn’t have the dream
but he’d still have it pretty great.
The Professor did want any of us would have
instead of living out his normal days.
The Professor sunk that boat.
Give him respect if not quite praise.
