Graduation Hors D'Oeuvres.
Brochures 4 college flocked mama’s
mail. No stories they forgot
Not to tell of
No classes
I can't fail No experiments
I can dry spell No esteems
I can't convince No militants
I can’t commence No drugs
I can't try No underage drinks
I can't buy No fears
I can’t hold onto No girls
(who’ll groin me blue)
Brochures 4 college flooded mama’s
mail. No stories they forgot
Not to tell of
No intramurals
I can't toy No purities
I can't destroy No color blinds
I can’t counterpoint No flexibility
I can’t un-joint No devils
I can't maintain No asana
I can't attain No falsetto
I can’t front No betrayals
I can’t confront No misfortunes
I can't avoid No substitute
I can’t out-void No revelation
I can’t wing, with No confrontation
(with what college brings)
Flocked in masses in mama’s
mail. What they didn’t forgot
not to tell.
