What will I do when I leave OU?

Pens and highlighters will remain as good as new

No more assignments to submit

I will miss them, although it’s hard to admit

What will I do when I leave OU, I ponder as I sit

No more OU packages to await

No more TMA’s to submit too late

Where will my degree take me?

I wonder is it fate?

What will be, will be I think, as I close my garden gate. . .

Perhaps I will start a course in poetry

Rhyming I enjoy, it would be good to learn some new techniques

Which on this page, I could employ

Graduation is on the horizon

I must book my place soon

No more assignments to submit

by the deadline that is noon

The cap and gown I have dreamt of

are now within my reach

I give credit to the OU,

for the way in which they teach

No more OU packages to await

No more TMA’s to submit too late

Where will my degree take me?

I wonder is it fate?

What will be, will be I think, as I close my garden gate . . .
