2:27p	Присоединяйтесь: silly college rhymes The rules: at least one college name should be mentioned. There should be а rhyme. Poems do not have to make sense. Making sense is a special bonus and I'll bake you "mazurka" cookies if you make sense in 6 poems (6 is my lucky number). Beginning Clark. You are a mark* - you go to Clark (very insulating, I know, but it rhymes this way). Bard - your lucky card. A place to think (c), If you are smart. A place to sink And fell apart For the nose hard. Bard... Университет Иешива - Учат вовсе не паршиво Пошел в РИСДИ - ты слишком-то не [очевидно, что дальше неприлично] Брандейс - В степи, где сумрачно и голо, Где дует знойный суховей, Я встретил как-то раз монгола, Он мне сказал: „Азохен вей!“ — Вейс мир, земеля! — я ответил. — Шма Исраэль, шолом шабат!
