Metamorphosis - a Tale of Dartmouth College, 1968

"Wah-hoo-wah!"
said the 'bro,'
 "Let's head toward 
  Fraternity Row."

The Library bells
toll ding-dong,
  Drunken brothers
  play beer-pong;

All through the night
play and drink,
  By dawn of day, 
  their breath stinks.

Men of Darmouth,
give a rouse!
  Party hearty 
  and carouse. 

From every window
music blasting,
  Led Zeppelin screaming 
  lyrics everlasting.

But, hey, poor freshman, if you feel left out,
Don't hang around your dorm and pout;
  Lack of coeds needs a fix, sir?
  Here's the recommended elixir:
  Tonight's big Freshman Mixer!
 So many girls there on parade--
 None of whom wants to be an 'Old Maid.'

And so it goes,
all through the year,
  Mechanical sex, 
  fueled by stale beer.
Debauched, promiscuous
four-year journey: 
  At whose end 
  you're ready to be,
  quite miracululously--
  A CPA, CEO, Physician, or Attorney!
