"An Ode to the Lounge We Love"

Oh lounge, so plain and yet so full,

of fun times and memories,

studies, games, and more,

it's clear what you are there for!

We love you lounge with your colorful walls,

your game tables, couches,

and haunted bathroom stalls.

We're fond of the thought of you,

a get away in a busy day.

A place to relax with a book and pretend to read.

A place to laugh and forget your grades,

to enjoy life and feel freed.

So thank you lounge, for your accomedies grand,

Oh how we'd like to shake your hand.

Take a bow, for we love you now,

until our college days end.

And when we've gone and left you dry,

without a card or a 'goodbye',

we'll all remember the good times we had,

and pray that it won't be too sad,

to close the door and walk away,

from your rooms that we enjoy today.
