Caf-crossed lovers
September 5, 2019
Imagine with me, if you will
So that I may set the tone,
And weave an enchanted tale
That will make you shift and groan.
It must have been fate that late night
For you see,
He was very close to staying home,
And finishing Stranger Things, season three.
Hark, instead he heard that wild call:
“Breakfast sandwiches! Come one, come all!”
He felt his chest tremble, and shake his knees
Something inside him begged for a double egg and cheese.
Now, however, our tale takes a turn.
For just across campus,
Another young student felt a very similar urge.
She threw on a jacket
To walk up from Vedder
Considering all the ways to make
A late-night pizza even better.
Into Bostwick she strolled
Not quite knowing what to eat
Found a small, round table
And gladly took her seat.
Well, you might not believe me,
But I swear, this is the truth:
Our young lad looked up
And quite nearly spilled his juice.
I’ll spare you the rest
Of this dazzling event
For after one second of eye contact,
These caf-crossed lovers never spoke again.
