The Graduate Student's Lament

This is my last day off from work and class
next week they will both start back up again
three weeks is a long enough break-- alas
I feel like I could use another ten

I miss my coworkers, don't get me wrong
and I miss the children I see each day
in that aspect, this break has been too long
I want so much again to laugh and play

What I do not look forward to next week
is an evil which I must face each day
its voice is alarming, its outlook bleak
and nothing I do makes it go away

I speak of none other than my alarm
it would do me pleasure to do it harm
