A Lofty Estilo

A collaborate (With the ever talented Brandon Williams!) attempt at a Shakespearean style poem for our dear friend, Nathan, who recently found his first job after earning his PhD. Though this is filled with inside jokes, the most important piece to know is that mostly all the names refer to apartment complexes. :-P

A Lofty Estilo

Goodbye to your old place: the cozy Bluffs.

Iambic feet are really not so tough!

With just a little eye on emphasis

Bard Shakespeare needn’t be our nemesis.

Digression! Let us toast the lovely Lofts.

That now and oft we’ll game with Drake and Croft!

Horizon yonder speaks of fun soon had.

Just dodge the “yuppies” in your sweet, new pad!

The choice you made will prove as no mistake

To place it high above those Em’rald Lakes.

The time will come to tackle chapters new.

Beware that concierge in tights that woo!

We’re bless’d to have us such a loyal friend.

Would only that our friendship never end.

What, ho! We’re happy so to have you here!

Along with Times of Greatness you bring near.

Make Covid Go Away

A little parody song to the tune of the well-known "I Want it That Way" Backstreet Boys tune. So kindly edited by Becky Coutinho and Audrey Strietz. :)

 My hands are on fire   

They say this is direee

Washing them all day!

Make COVID go away.

But we are six feet apart

Quarantine breaks my heart

Such dismay

Make COVID go away.

Tell me whhhyyy

Why can’t we play outside today? 

Tell me whhhyyy

Is this really going to last till May?

Tell me why

I’m so bored I guess I’ll hit the hay

Make COVID go away.

Lookin’ my best-  no doubt

Get dressed to take the trash out   

Yes, I know, it’s just the mailman

Great to see a human again!

Tell me whhhyy

Why you hoarding all the TP?

Tell me whhhy?

Just listen to the CDC!

Tell me why

Should I just go out and buy a bidet?

Make Corona go away

Now we can see the economy’s falling apart

People are losing their jobs. 

Yeeeeahhh 

With the six feet distance, I want you to know

When you cough, stay away from me!!!

My hands are on firre

Situation’s direee

Wash your hands

Wash your hands

Wash your hands

YOUR HANDS!

Don’t wanna hear you say…

Going to hang at my friend’s house

Seeing anyone but your spouse

I never want to hear you say

Make Corona go away

Tell me whhhyy

Why is Lysol now my best friend?

Tell me whyyyy

Social distance is the new trend?

Tell me whhhy

Stimulus checks will be delayed

Our nerves are really frayed…

Tell me why 

There’s nothing fresh at the store 

Tell me why

Don’t wanna eat dry pasta no more

Tell me why

Maybe I’ll go out and adopt a stray    

Make COVID go away

Make COVID  go away
