A little piece I wrote (I stole the first stanza from yet another fraud) for my daughters one Friday afternoon after they both had spent a particularly cold and icy week of their freshman year at their respective colleges. Sorry I can't do much better.
You'll remember the Cat in the Hat
Who got those kids in such trouble.
They were sent to boarding school
Right on the double.
You see, Thing One and Thing Two
Had eaten all the food.
The fish finally tattled
About them being so rude.
Now the Things are in college
To learn something new.
How to be smart about stuff
And how to think things through.
But a long week's gone by
With ice and with cold.
My girls have struggled hard.
College life is gettin' old.
Miss Laura at Drake
And Miss Sarah at Trinity
Need to let go some steam
But not to infinity.
So try to be nice
and make not a mess,
But it's a good time now
To relieve all that stress.
Just pack up your books,
Put away all those notes.
It's party time now.
Be sure to wear your coats!
