'Twas the weeks before finals
All through the campus
Not a student was stirring
Not even P-Safe
The books were spread on the desk with care
In hopes that an A+ was in the air
The students were nestled in their chairs lookin at their beds
Visions of break and sleep danced in their heads
When outside of W.O.W. arose such a clatter
The deprived of sleep students sprang to see what was the matter
Away to the window they flew like a flash
3rd floor DRS fell with yawps because of the dash
"OHHHHHHs" and "Sir" filled the halls
The bright LA moon and smog covered below
Everyone hoping for rain or maybe some snow
Could it be the fire department or an EMT's siren
or that crazy guy with the guitar singing again
what's his name Byron...
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
We knew in a moment it was then man from Orientation President Burcham duh! not St. Nick!
a sigh of relief from all the freshman in worry that it was Lowney and his book part 2
Then out of no where was a loud "BOOOOO!"
Why was the President out so late thought the students
we have finals and movements that must be attented too
Little did they notice he was dressed in red and filled with delight
Then in a blink of an eye he took flight
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
Shocked and sleepy the students thought it was all a dream and not real
just like the imaginary snow they could feel
Their beds looked warmer and warmer as the hours started to tick
they could hear the rats running in the attic
Then, in a twinking, heard in the common rooms
prancing and pawning of some kind of goons
Who was fooling around at this time of the hour!?
The RD's and RA's gather together to solve the problem.
Is it the 3rd floor boys again with the cone
or is someone on the 4th floor on the phone?
With delight and cheer they find the person and grab him by the ear!
President Burcham dressed in red is found by the Christmas Tree in the hall
laying down socks and a basketball
With a smile on his face he says no more finals everyone go home
With a flash the international kids booked flights from Brazil to Rome!
"Is this a joke do you think your funny?" yelled a girl that was half asleep
"Not a joke but gift for you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" was the response
All filled with happiness and joy the students pack their bags and head to the cars
greeting the Professors recieveing giant gold stars!
Then all of the sudden darkness and mist fill up sunken gardens on the campus!
something isn't right...
Then somehow there is a disappearance of the delight...
The student wakes up from reading "Twas the night before Christmas"
and realized he checked out the wrong book!
He was looking from Christ's mass,
he was in the wrong nook.
So much for fun a delight.
Back to studying and fright.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
