Advent Calendar -Day 20

I’m sharing a piece done by a friend. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. He asked that the only attribution be:
“SOTSOG”
Stopping by Some Words on a Term Paper Evening
Whose words these are I think I know
He did not ever get tenure, though
He will not see me Googling him here
To watch his citation count sadly grow.
My old Mac Book must think it queer
To stop without a wi-fi near
Between my shoulders my back does ache
Because I let my deadline draw near
He lets his battery case vibrate
To ask if there is some update
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of icy winds on campus concrete
These words are lovely, dark and deep
But I have hypotheses o’er which to weep
And ..oh ..$&!@loads of pages to write before I sleep
