Are we doing the poem/rhyming thing?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Cal sucks
But we do too

I don’t think Eric has sufficient EUTM this season but you never know.

Quote:Campanile: 'Beat Cal'
'Immoral 12' Drape Banner From Tower

The Campanile went Stanford yesterday. For about 15 minutes at noon, California's answer to Hoover Tower sported a 100-foot-long banner that loudly proclaimed "Beat Cal" in bright red letters.

Ten Stanford jokesters aided by two ex-Stanfordites now doing grad work at Cal, pulled off the gag. And they escaped without so much as a suspicious look from anybody at Cal.

Despite our failings,
We can prevail;
There will be wailing
When Kal is derailed.

CardCrimon's poem might not rhyme, but it's actually a beautiful little piece in the style of William Carlos Williams:

----

THE RED TONKA TRUCK
by CardCrimson

four years of
futility

worse than Buddy or
Walt

make it
stop

let the axe
fall

Scores given not got

Halftime leads to exodus

Horrors aplenty.

RE: Beat Cal!! - martyup - 11-15-2022

We score but once
The crowd falling asleep
They score but twice
And the Axe they keep

Then there's this, by William Butler Speights, brother of Trevor and erstwhile poetaster among the water boys. 

Hulking as the play-clock slowly falls,
The center cannot hear the QB’s calls,
Things fall apart, the O-line cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the team,
The blood-dimmed blitz is loosed, and everywhere
The D collapses round the doomed McKee;
The best are now all injured, while the worst
Take first string roles mid Cardinal debris.
