Your Seminar

And the fantastic audience!

That must be a grad student
scribbling a longish scroll

And this must be a postdoc
he is not writing at all

The young prof with his energies
is trying arguments deep

And that’s an old prof with a halo
in the front row, asleep

When you reach the point of pride
a cellphone goes beep-beep

Of course it is the director
with another meeting to keep

The show goes on, and you talk of results
but you can’t show them the sweat

And then come tea and biscuits and snacks,
the best of a seminar, you bet!
