O thesis! With apologies to Walt Whitman

[durham_knits]

O thesis! My thesis! Our journey has begun;
My books are piled on the floor until the thing is done;
The end is near, the call I hear, to finish by the duedate,
While only the outline and topic I have, and fear that it will be late.

But O thesis! thesis! thesis!
O the words upon this screen,
There the fate of my schooling lies:
An outline, short and lean.
