Does your footer pitch have artificial turf? The books are too heavy - I have a note My feelings are covered by the ADA Silence? But I gotta have my tunes, man! “Correction of Youths?” My mummy will sue! “Daily manual labor” – may I be excused? “No talk after Compline” – But can I text? *** *** nonononono *** no? Not for me, dude; and this I’ve got to say: I know that your program’s famously prestigious But I am, like, spiritual, not religious And, hey, you know, you’re just not Harvard, okay?
