Academic Issues At the Holiday Table

One has a rallying spear 
Other has a chomp to fear 
But on the weekend to give gratitude 
A Seminole and Gator won’t be showing any attitude 
Cancelled is their rivalry match 
Neither one will be the dinner catch 
Gator meat 
Sautéed and sweet 
Will not be grilled by holiday heat 
As for the Tribe 
Known for the warrior horseback ride 
Albert and Alberta will not have them in their clutches 
Prescribing prosthetics and crutches 
Due to a viral infection 
Contagious and doesn’t hear the word rejection 
Has ended this simple little thing 
That is nothing more than a festive fling  
After sailing down the Amazon department store river 
Shopping with prime free delivery 
Tight Izod shirts 
Great gift for Seminole evenings filled with flirts
For the Gator’s heart 
Nice handcrafted jewelry a nice giving season start 
Maybe a medicine ball 
Would be the stocking stuffer call 
No game attending
School spirit must have some mending  
Road trip to the fountain of youth 
And seek some truth 
Before the first semester grades hit the roof 
It is the time when reality starts to show 
Debating what the professor really does know
About the All American Academic Athletic show 
Requested to be let go 
Hopefully when final exam time arrives 
This hash tag anti-social behavior drive 
Will take a nose dive 
Finding the answer 
Just like they did for HIV positive and cancer
