Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee <br /> See what a fine pair they make <br />‘U do an MBA’, says Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee <br />‘While I the PhD route take’ <br />Now Tweedle Dee is an MBA, with all his fundas wrong; <br />Tweedle Dum frowns; he’s analyzing the enlightened throng. <br /> <br /> <br />Tweedle Dee earns in dollars evergreen I say <br />While Tweedle Dum dances his fingers, ‘I never want money- nay! ’ <br />As months flow by Tweedle Dee gets married and flies abroad <br />Seeing this Mr Dum chucks his thesis and takes the corporate road <br /> <br />And all his fundas of research Tweedle Dum brings to office <br />Taken aback, his colleagues shout, ‘keep that away, no please’ <br />Poor Mr Dum, like rasmalai in rum, was at a loss to understand <br />Why his research, full of insight, on the corporate table looked bland <br /> <br /> <br />Now Tweedle Dee, when he hears of Dum’s plight, <br />runs to him to help; gets him a job, buys him a tie <br />Takes his one ton thesis and puts it out of sight. <br /> <br />Tweedle Dum now pulls his hair and fiddles with his tie, <br />looks at the fundu management honchos and says, ‘pity, fie’ <br />No matter however much he fied, he got nimbly about his job <br />The last Tweedle Dee had heard of Dum, he had joined the B- school mob. <br /> <br />P.S. This rambling poem has been inspired by a friend of mine who’s a PhD scholar and has joined the corporate world, because to put it in his words, ‘The power structures are moving towards privatization’. I wish him, and all others who take time to adjust their sensibilities in this insensible world, the best of luck.<br /><br />priyanka choudhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tweedle-dum-and-tweedle-dee-one-mba-the-other-phd/
