Twas the day after Giesters And all through the dorms were hungover students in various forms. IS THIS YOUR LUCKY DAY?

The seniors were nestled all snug in their beds still dreaming of ice packs to put on their heads.

The clothing was strewn on the floors and the chairs (They’d check it out later to make sure it was theirs).

A roll to the left and a nudge to the right Just to be sure they slept solo last night.

There was nary a sound or a student in class Just the “ fizz” o f an Alka Seltzer in somebody’s glass.
