Great Regulars: I don't know much about agricultural economics,

but I think I found a poem for you (if it's not appropriate, let me direct you to two books--Bill Knott's The Unsubscriber and Jefferson Carter's Sentimental Blue--that contain concise, witty, somewhat aphoristic poems that can be used as subtle little jabs to your supervisor). But the poem I suggest for you first is a funny one by Edward Lear (they always say to mask your criticism with humor) and it is also open to interpretation so that your examiners, of which I assume your supervisor will be a part, won't know that the poem is a direct complaint about your experience.
