SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1932. Volume 3. Number 2.

Tournamentitis

Tournamentitis.

Four little Colleges
Think of Tournamenting
Until one acknowledges
That it is dissenting.

Three little Colleges
Talk of persevering
Till another College is
Showing signs of veering.

Two lone Alma Maters
Said "Ye gods, how fickle
We're the only starters.
What a sorry pickle!"

One little College then
Finds itself relenting;
Enters in the lists again,
Bathos thus preventing.

One University.
Left out in the cold,
Said "Deuce take adversity!"
And rejoined the fold.

Four little College teams
Came and Tournamented;
Who'd have thought FOUR Academes
Would be represented!

P.S.—The Moon, which had put all its money and its shirt as well on No Tourney, got such a shock when the numbers went up that it threw a total eclipse on the very next night.
