Let the springtime follies find their place, And every admin find his clarion call. Faculty and staff find hiding space; The dice are cast and heads must fall. The changing of the guard makes haste; Outside the trickling melt is slow. Quickened blood and whitened face... Colleagues lost.... We wonder who will go. House cleaning goes with spring, I guess; We tend to move those articles of ease, Ignoring those who have the power to oppress... Whose absence might bring summer on the breeze.

Spring in Academia
Let the springtime follies find their place, And every admin find his clarion call. Faculty and staff find hiding space; The dice are cast and heads must fall. The changing of the guard makes haste; Outside the trickling melt is slow. Quickened blood and whitened face... Colleagues lost.... We wonder who will go. House cleaning goes with spring, I guess; We tend to move those articles of ease, Ignoring those who have the power to oppress... Whose absence might bring summer on the breeze.
