Nature Takes Its Course
monotetra
Our school’s sylvan woods hosts new guests,
A slew of deer ticks could infest
the ancient football stands with pests.
The coach is stressed; the coach is stressed.
Venerable dean is abreast;
he spots some juveniles at rest
and sends them searching for tick nests.
Nature's inquest, nature's inquest.
Opossums can clean up this mess.
The mysterious students press
dumpsters where possums feast and fest,
a quick arrest, a quick arrest.
The prisoners are put to test;
swiftly they move, nests they molest.
Tranquility! ticks are suppressed;
Coach is impressed; coach is impressed.
