So there is this chance this one was inspired from the PhD comics...I've been reading them obsessively,have lost my sense of reality,and have needed reminding recently that they are fictional characters..Gasp!
Dealing with delusion has never been easy now has it....Forgive me this one indulgence!
Now this is Ironic!
A grad student turned ninety eight
Took the walk,got scooped the next day
You're starving,but look how much you weigh
You race to save your gel,but you're too late
Isn't it ironic...don't you think
It's like the roton who won't listen to a word you say
It's a free slice,but it's already stale
It's the paper draft that just didn't take
Who would've thought..it needed figures.
Mr.Smarty Pants' head began to sway
Fell asleep at a talk,one he gave meeting day
I screamed"Eureka!I knew I was right"..
Oops I'm looking at it from the wrong side
Well isn't that nice
And isn't it ironic..don't you think
Well your PI has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When your gel didn't run well,and the bands aren't right
Your post doc has a weird sense of humor when
He says you have to play music to his mice
And he isn't joking
It's showing up with a cloning manual on a date
It's talking prion disease while sharing a steak
It's writing a grant proposal to your future wife
It's making her first author
And being set for life
That isn't ironic..do you think...
Very normal...I do think
Deadlines have a funny way of sneaking up on you
You achieve nothing,yet you pass out
Yet you pass out
I'm toying with the idea of adding a link of me singing this version to music...hmmm. Either because I'm so wonderfully gifted..or the unlikely possibility of not wanting to work on paper that's due...
Maybe I'll conduct a poll instead...let me know what you think..

sing sing sing! its way more fun than a boring paper that drains away your creativity. nice one though :)
I vote for the singing also ! And having heard you sing, I'd love to hear it again... and again... and again...
Nice one as usual, I hope our science humour picks up the lives of future grad students.
let's hear the crooning queen!
its about time the video came out! we are waiting for it...
LOL! How about singing and a poll? You can delay your paper even further! ; )
Beautifully written, i see that you have a good understanding.
Diana Travel baby
