Sandra Martyres - Cut and Paste

No more burning the midnight oil
And pouring over tomes to find
Information or do research on
Any person, place or subject
The life of the student has changed
And it is all thanks to the Internet
That virtual fount of knowledge
Available at the click of a mouse
From one’s very own house
But alas there is a negative side
To this life of comfort and ease
Student have become past masters
At the infamous routine of “cut and paste”
Originality, presentation and writing skills
Treasured and propagated by the likes of me
Are no longer valued and considered passé
