I was trying to stay awake during a meeting and composed a poem (a nonet — a 9-line poem that begins with nine syllables and tapers down to one). Here’s hoping for a football season worth buying tickets for. Enjoy!

Raucous crowd cheers and boosts team morale
Spirit colors worn so proudly
Faces painted green and gold
Throng of fans join the yell
Cheerleaders chanting
Students shouting:
“Sic ‘em, Bears!
Go, fight –
Win!”
