Noice loves poetry… and we love it even more when it gets randomly emailed to us (but not in that my-mom-won’t-stop-sending–me-inspirational-chain-mail kind of way). So imagine our delight when a couple beatniks set themselves to the task this week on Lev Open while lamenting the missing dining hall clock. We’d applaud…but uh, we’re already over quota.

FAS webmail’s 100 MB limit notwithstanding, there’s always room in our hearts for this kind of collective creativity.

I miss you, yes I really do.

What’s worse, I’m late for classes too.
Please come back, I hate the empty wall
I check it daily, a hundred times in all.
I lost my watch, my cell phone’s crap
The whiteness is just a yawning gap.
If I’m late to pick up Neer, I pay a fine
And now you know the reason for this whine. COME BACK!

I second this well-voiced sentiment
And, without causing resentment,
I wish to add my own to the tale -
I did not know Harvard wanted its students to fail!
How am I supposed to make it to midterms or to class
Without the clock to get me off my…previous engagement so that I might
arrive in time for the subsequent one.

Who knew a simple missing clock
Could such wit and verve inspire!
Not that I intend to mock
But merely that I do admire
the talent and gift of each new muse
and hope their efforts to amuse
do not distract from other things.
Seniors, beware – it’s not yet spring!

Get to work, don’t waste your life
(Especially, my procrastinating wife)
Of if you want to keep on mopin’
At least don’t do it on Lev Open!
