January College Poem
March 20, 2019
Twas the week before christmas
and all through the halls,
all the seniors were waiting
for college acceptance calls.
For on December 15,
Students will eagerly check their mail
To find letters from institutions
Like Harvard and Yale
Though some who applied ED
Found out on December one
While some were disappointed
Others had fun
Take Zack Bacino for instance
Who got into TCNJ
He also received a scholarship
Leaving him less to pay
Others applied rolling
To schools far and wide
So they would find out in two weeks
To the schools they applied
Tim Hough did just that
And applied to Rowan
He also found out
On a day that was snowing
Erin Devine applied rolling
A few months ago
To Kutztown University
Next year she will go
The days count down
And the seniors await
But until then
Their physics tests await
For midyear grades
Will still be released
And if the seniors don’t study
Bad news, they will greet
But that shouldn’t be a problem
At central this time
Cause we all know the students
Find not studying to be a crime
Though some who play sports
Have a whole different ordeal
As with schools who display interest
Offer a deal
Students sign on the line
And initial here
And to that school they will go
In the coming year
Radha Dooley took part
In this annual event
She will go to Fordham in the fall
As she signed with a pen
Pasquale V as well
Signed on the line
For Stevens will be winning
Their wrestling matches in no time
For those who applied early
Can also get a surprise
As some schools release their acceptances
Before the notification deadline
Rachel Oddy for one
Was excited to see
When she got accepted to Pace
One month early
No matter the result
Know your future is bright
Happy New Year’s red devils
And to all a good night
