【RMU Poems]¶
(1)
The beer jar is empty,
But my heart is still hungry.
I can’t wait until January,
To go back to Wheatley,
And hug my friend Lisa, Brett, and Betty.
I have the same love for Sani,
But he is too busy,
Playing with his AI toy.
I know Fred is very funny,
But he is also a worker bee,
His passion is study, not me.
Needless to mention Jin and Alvi,
They smoke cigs like a hippie;
They rarely think of me,
Until their stomachs get empty.
(2)
RMU classroom is too squeezy,
Not to mention that annoying Sani,
Sitting between you and me.
Let’s go to Clearwater Beach
Enjoy the endless sea.
Oops, there comes topless Freddie,
Spying on you and me.

Author - Fred Hoffman
Since that hotel room encounter
Strange things going on
No one at conference was calling me Jay
Instead they all called me John
Unaware of her ploy
Used in high tourist season
Jay strove to dismiss her
Through facts and through reason
“It’s all a case of A-B-C-D-E,” said Jay
Hoping his theoretical construct
Would carry the day
What convinced her to exit
Was not logic or vocabulary
But rather Jay’s call
To the local constabulary

My heart becomes tender,
When I am not working on a paper。
I am no fan of science,
But still want to be a doctor。
Just to keep my mind and soul in order。
(5) Thanksgiving
Your friendship is dear,
I want to celebrate with beer;
But before we cheer,
Let’s finish our paper。
The end may be near,
But the future is even better。
Until then,
Let’s fight together。
(6) Fred，The Overachiever
I published two articles this year
So they called me an overachiever
But my appetite is never too big
And my plate is never too full.
