We eat fried mochi
If a red flower blooms
insects will buzz. It is
suddenly becoming summer.

Miss Midori
You injested jealousy
the red flower,
if it blooms
It will be a hot and humid summer.

Thoughts/(The weight) of love (koi)
become tears, but
the one who sets his ambition
and sets their goal of their eyes
on love (ai) will not fail.

Is the dreamlike
continuing rain
meant to purify
this village?
Does it have a purpose?

Is the dreamlike
everlasting god of rain
meaning to purify
this village?
Does she/he have a purpose?

Is the dreamlike
continuing rain
going to purify
my long wait?
Does this have a purpose?

Is the dreamlike
continuing rain
going to purify
my liking of "chi"?
Does this serve a purpose?

Heading to Nocal soon I go,
To visit yearly and to grow,
If any friends in there reside,
Reply or whisper, but do not hide!

You spotted snakes
with double tounge
thorny hedgehogs
be not seen
Newts and blindworms
do no wrong
come not near our
Fairyqueen
lul lul lul la lullaby
lul lul lul la lullaby
Two funnel cakes
with bubblegum
Coney hotdogs
are the thing.
Kraut and mustard
on the top.
Make our day when
Cyclones win.
Yo yo yo he missed the fly.
Rah rah rah we caught the B.

Oh Remedy Oh Remedy,
please approve our tickets.

do not change our window.
The net is cool, the web is up,
the time is near to make the change.
Oh Remedy Oh Remedy,

We escalate to Shawnessy.
The evening nigh to calamity.
Oh remedy, Oh remedy,
Thank you for approval.

DDMI DDMI, Oh why did you do that in my eye.
Now to rdp I must go, and check some task's status though,
Wish I may wish I might, no idea whats in-store tonight.
And through to vdi I plunge, to find if these pipes need a sponge.

Far above Cayuga's waters, wafts a pungent smell.
Ag and bio fertilizer whoa I faint Corn-hell,

Oh the madness, endless prelims, papers, and bell curves knell,
Run from class across the quads and on the ice I fell,

As I limp to Oakenshields, I sense a welcome smell,
burgers, cheese, and yummy dishes, hail all hail Cornell.

Up to climb to labs and lectures, under Riemann sheets,
Twisting through a delta function, I do feel so sweet.

Ah the dragon comes a romping, paper everywhere,
More tests and prelims, papers, ah, it is not fair.

Finally comes the slope day, and from frats I flee,
To hide in Uris, Krotch and any library.

Justice for Gray.
For the future we #pray.

Nash RIP5/24/2015 (facebook)
Let us mourn the passing of Nash, who perished in a horrid car crash,
His life was filled with pain, and some thought he 'twas insane,
But he had a Beautiful Mind, and was extremely kind.
And let us take a pause, and pray his soul will soar.

Dearest Snape Sir,
Put on your fur,

We honor thee here,
& flee in fear,
for thy courage thee bear.

with honed skills,
till thy bone spilled.

on the smell of the swill of mucus.
