We Clcvxzfafoun uzy Dafa Ye Carletounbury Tale What that Freshmen ferst to Carletoun came The speeches that they herd were all the same. Eache speaker saide how fortunate they be To start at our new universitie. Youre road of lerning shal, with joy, be paved. And all they had to bee was - well behaved. But nevere did I heare those men discuss The great advantage Frosh have over us, Which is: by coming this yeare, and not last, They do not miss the pleasures that have past. O pitie the poore senior who recalls CarIetoun's olde, chipped, derty, lovely walls! This sterile, new, colde penitentiarie Will nevere bee what it once used to bee. lf you, at any tyme, shoulde bee inclined, Within this sprawling fishbowle, for to find A friend or don with whom you want to speak, lt will, if you persist, lust take one weeke. The most familiar wordes around these grounds Are either, out-of-order , out-of-bounds , Don't smoke , use other door or no admittance . lThe Bursar has one now which reads, no pittance l There's soo much glass, it was a month before We realized that a wall was not a door. The foode is like a safety pin, girls say- You shuv it in and pray that it will stay. And when they flick a meal upon your plate W lt proves that size and kost can't both be great. So dance with mee, you lucky Freshmen, do! l'll skip along the quadrangle with you, We'll romp along the pork-up hill, down dale - With shoes as derty as the Miller's Tale. And so, ycu fledgling students, have good cheere. Bee grateful that you were not here last yeare. Bee thankfull that you have no memories Of reale school spirit, no sad reveries About those student rallies for eache game To wich more than a few cheerleaders came. Sit in your Danish desk lcn which, l bet, Not one of you has karved initials yetl While l sit with a friend, a tear, an ale, And tell the tragick Carletounbury Tale.
