Work is for Jerks In honor of my blooming unemployment and nouveau-slacker, grad student mystique, here's an old poem I wrote years back about how working sucks and how work is for jerks. It was a response to my friend Greg-o's poem "School is for Fools" and strangely seems to have forsaw the phrase that inspired the name of this blog, "Words are for Nerds." Please know that I am not a Turkaphobe, I brought the Turks into it only because of one reason - Turk rhymes with work.

WORK IS FOR JERKS
by J$

Work is for jerks,
only jerks like to work,
only a Turk enjoys being at work.

I asked about work,
and he offered a smirk.
He said, "I like to lurk
behind bookcases, Dirk."
"It may seem like a quirk,
but it's not - I'm just shirking my work."

Captain Kirk liked his work,
but he was a jerk,
and that guy on Scrubs called Turk,
but most go berzerk
when they think of their work.

Though it offer a perk,
I still hate my work,
whether a temp or a clerk,
it all stinks, 'cuz it's work.
