Poem Review

We almost had a compromise, although shady, daring, and skewed.

So close was this coalition, there was no need for Robert's Rules.

What a beautiful site, all of SG together?
Too good to be true, they said. I begged to differ.

There was one e-board proposed,
One government, if you will
Shoulda' brought the parties together,
We were in for one hell of a year!

But I was wrong.
And accusations flew left and right.
Unity this, Maize and Blue that,
Criticizing with all their might.

And so we split,
As the two sides drifted back to their bases,
Choosing their own candidates and senators,
To sway the masses and persuade faces.

Now you're forced with a decision,
Vote Unity or Maize and Blue?
At first glance and first sight,
One doesn't have a clue!

Either way you look at it,
Your all in the same boat.
Whatever you want to do,
Just get out there and vote!

So you ask for my opinion?
Well I guess that's my cue,
Get all your friends, comrades, and rivals
To VOTE MAIZE AND BLUE.

We want to reduce our tuition,
An agenda item that can’t be beat.
Or at least use our money
To get us BETTER FOOD TO EAT!

Too late to withdraw from your class,
We should change that too!
What if you didn’t have your first exam?
What if you had the flu?

Never find a place to park?
Causes you to leave class and ditch?
Then let’s go to the administration,
Because parking is a B****.

Now why do we have a field house?
People just come and go like headaches.
What's that Maize and Blue?
OH, Expand Our Athletics!

We're all college students here,
Too broke to even tan,
I wonder how we can save you some money,
How about a Student Health Care Plan?

Now please don't be shy,
We'll listen to any of your advice
Come up to us at any time,
We're all active, friendly, and nice.


So go out and vote,
You know what to do!
Let’s have an awesome year, and remember
Maize and Blue Crew Works for You!
