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.
