COLLEGE EDUCATION

The nation of Benin is located between Nigeria and Togo to the west.
It’s the size of Tennessee, and in 1893 it was formally annexed by the French.
Its President, Kerekou, led a military coup back in May of 1973.
And, now with new elections and worldwide protections, the region faces new stability.

I’ve got a college education full of useless information.
Oh, won’t you buy me a drink?
I’m deeply in debt, but I am not upset ‘cause I learned the right way to think.

The School of Dadaism merged art with nihilism. It was disbanded in 1923.
Then came the surrealists and abstract expressionists who explored the Freudian principals of dreams.
Then, Georgia O’Keefe turned vaginas into leaves and lived out in a ranch in Santa Fe.
And, Robert Mapplethorpe took photographs of pork, and critics called it pornography.

I’ve got a college education full of useless information.
Would you like some fries with that Coke?
I know Picasso from Braque, Ginsburg from Kerouac,
But, oh my God, life is feeling like a joke.
I’d like a Jack and Coke, please.
