'Twas the night before Reading Day when all through downtown,

Not a student was studying, the college seemed shutdown;

Frat boys carefully cradled cases of Natty in their arms,

While Mcalli kids strived to avoid the constant fire alarms;

Once the lab practicals were over and the lectures were done,

the only way to celebrate was to enjoy a burrito and some sun;

Freshmen crowded the dining hall hoping for decent food to devour,

while the seniors stumbled home from a long happy hour;

Silence echoed throughout the empty Addlestone floors,

while the bars on king street served extra long pours;

The students felt that they owed it to Clyde,

to selfie with the statue and display their cougar pride;

Drunk girls sang the top 40 throughout the dark streets,

while the guys staggered to Quan's in hopes of great eats;

Surely tonight everyone will act a fool,

because indeed today was the last day of school.
