Ode to the Good CE

by EJ, 1983

Arnold Axle tried to see,
if he could be a good CE.

He studied hard his fluids book,
and thought he'd make a better cook.

Somehow Arnold couldn't feel,
a need to study structure steel.

He doesn't think that it's so neat,
to mix and place some new concrete.

Poor Arnold's now a drunken wino,
just 'cause he couldn't pass his dyno.

Now in the gutter the world does see,
poor Arnold Axle, the good CE.
