If You Can't Do it Teach it
First we had the cliche–then the clique,
both of which claimed to be unique
but a cliche became commonplace
when the two of them came face to face.
A unique expression catches on
to which a jargon becomes a pawn;
like an ordinary expression
which has now undergone a lesson.
Joining such a clique can’t be too hard,
and i have very little regard
for academic cliques, if you please,
but there is a good reason for these.
There is little some people can do
except tell other people how to.
