As they sat beneath the oak tree, One mild October evening Little Herman cried, Oh, father, Tell me of the wondrous Seniors. Said his father, Little Herman, Do not take as your opinion That the Seniors are such wonders, They are not, but think they are. So holding little Herman tighter He began his tale of wonder.
