I'm witty and urbane.

I was raised right, mostly.

And people love to have me over.

And I'm good at getting myself invited to things I'm not supposed to go to.

But the end of summer snuck up on me pretty quickly.

And my buddy came in from New York, and I told him everything I had going on.

And he said, you know, you might be some kind of evil genius.

I hope one day you're going to use your powers for good.

And that's when it all hit me.

I'm out of lies, I'm out of people, I'm out of time, I'm out of chances.

I got one more card to play, and that's the truth.

And it dawns on me I gotta call the dragon.

Now, I'm not gonna call her and talk to her, absolutely not.

So I waited till she went to work, and then I called home and left a message on her answering machine.

And the message I left was, hi, it's Dame.

I didn't graduate.

And I'm actually 15 credit hours short.

The school says I gotta pay $1,500 by end of business on Friday so that I can register for the fall semester.

If you've got it, great, but if you don't, let me know.

Thanks, bye.
