With brains unhin\u00adged<\/a> by hash\u00adish, pot, or coke
\nThey sit the\u00adre in a semi-con\u00adscious fudd\u00adle<\/a>.
\nThey don\u2019t buy text\u00adbooks, never take a note;

\nThey miss the mid\u00adterm, don\u2019t sub\u00admit<\/a> a paper,
\nAnd log<\/a> four weeks of absen\u00adces as well,<\/p>\n

And then drift to your office, in a daze<\/a>,
\n Inqui\u00adring <\/a>why they haven\u2019t got\u00adten A\u2019s. [1]<\/p>\n
