College Tuition Goes Up and UpA Poem by Elton CampThere is a limit to what people will pay.College Tuition Goes Up and Up By Elton Camp There is hardly any college that even tries To find a way it can reasonably economize With their plans it doesn’t seem it need fit Because they have found a money-filled pit If the college’s finances should get a bit rough Then on students & parents they make it tough Tuition and fees they will raise again this year Also the next year, so reductions they never fear They think there’s no limit to what folks will pay It doesn’t bother them to treat students that way So they try to see just how much they can get No matter about student loans and crushing debt They hire deans, secretaries and assistants galore So they just have to charge ever more and more Greedy professors demand always increasing pay Lest, like a herd of angry jackasses they will bray But students may decide it isn’t worth the cost And then to the colleges, everything will be lost We will then see a bunch of unemployed slobs For without enough students they will have no jobs © 2011 Elton Camp |
