<p>Well guys, some people may criticize us hopeful Quakers as being mindless pre-professionals. I beg to differ. Let’s show the world that we too enjoy the finer things in life, such as poetry! Let us innovate; let us demonstrate our prowess to the CC community and then the world ! Let us write poetry about our dear old Penn. </p>
<p>Tell me what you think ! Took me an hour to write it, it takes 5 seconds to reply</p>
<p>An Ode to Penn</p>
<p>Though your red brick walls do not glisten,
And an old white button, on locust walk, lies splitten,
Your beauty, to us, is not hidden.</p>
<p>For at the Penn relays our men do quicken,
To win, for Penn, for Glory, and for women.</p>
<p>Our parties are wild, for we lack inhibition,
So from alcohol we seek remission.</p>
<p>In class, when our professors speak, we listen,
For they are masters of erudition.</p>
<p>On the basketball courts where our opponents are beaten,
Go Princeton, you say and you will be bitten,
For by our school we are smitten.</p>
<p>So onwards loyal Quakers to Franklin Field, for to beat Princeton we need no permission.</p>
<p>thanks for the comments guys, feel free to add stanzas (but be careful to keep the rhyme structure in tact). We can make this a really long and hopefully really good poem ! Or we can just edit this one and make it even better like we did for the story. </p>
<p>Feel free to edit what I have already written. And write your own poems too, we can really get something started here to relive the stress ! (I spent my time writing this poem instead of studying for my calc test I think i failed it … there goes my A, lol thank god i applied early). I know I am a terrible person for not studying but whatever. this is too fun ! I think I want to double major in literature at Penn (if Mr. Furda let’s me in that is )</p>

<p>At the Palestra we’ll give the Tigers a whippin’
Go Princeton, you say and you will be bitten,
For by our school we are smitten.</p>
<p>So onwards loyal Quakers, win on Franklin Field today; for we’re better than Princeton by their own admission !</p>
<p>I thought you’re doing business. Didn’t you say you’re heading for Wharton? what with all that derivative thing that Hotchkiss has allowed you to do and to show Goldman’s sach. :)</p>
<p>I didn’t say i am headed there. I did apply though, i’m crossing my fingers and wishing for the best. But yeah i’d rather not discuss that other stuff on the penn forum. I’ve realized it was a very stupid thing to say since it will be extremely easy to ID me now and it had no place on CC, mentioning it bordered on arrogance. I apologize.</p>
<p>And though I really did do what I said I did, I am aware that the people I talked to may have just been polite or something. I’m sure if my stuff was truly important I would get more than a “that’s a very good idea” out of the people I talked to. And what I called a derivative is probably the equivalent of a child with a crayon comparing his “drawing” with the Mona Lisa. But yeah, enough of that. Like I said i’d rather not discuss that on the Penn forum.</p>
