I’m going to go to prison for wasting my worktime
Instead of typing letters,I was learning Greek online
The police took my computer, saw Plato’s head divine
Then they saw my tablet,!Is studying the new crime?
Forty thousand letters,not French ones but Greek
I am an eager learner but I’ve lost the will to speak
I wonder why they searched it, who was it who leaked?
I don’t know how they spied on me as my mouse can’t speak
I also learned statistics,geology and Dutch
I just love to use my mind but maybe that’s too much
I should have learned humanities,I and Thou and such
I like Buber,Kierkegaard and eating Cornish Fudge
Beware of using laptops which don’t belong to you
Or you might well go to jail with a bucket for a loo.
Still,learning is not murder, mindless we turn blue
Ask your fellow workers and do just what they do.
Spend your day om gossip, smoke while in the loo
Slander all your enemies and slander your friends too
Do just what you must each day, and never leave a clue
Do your learning from a book so no-one knows but you.
