1384 - Off course

My daughter, Pearl, is coming home today
Four years at Oxford University
Are over for her, and she’s glad, I’d say
Such hard work for so long, but hopefully
A first or a good 2-1’s what she’ll be
Tomorrow (Father’s Day) we’re meeting up
For a catch-up over a Thai meal; we
Will bring our own wine and we’ll chat and sup
Marking a watershed moment; a stop
To learning and a start to earning. They
Are saddled early with big debt these days
And things are set to get worse quite quickly
For future students. Perhaps we will stop
Subsidising arts courses, now money
Is scarce; just fund vocational study?

    That's how this translates! It doesn't look like a good translation to me!!!
