Ode to the Commons
Nestled softly in your arms
When late night wanderings
brought me close,
BLTs and meatball parms,
Sandwiches cheap, $5.99 at most.
The one to count on when parties grow dull,
I see life’s truths buried in your eyes.
When boredom in Tisch puts me in a lull
2 a.m. chicken fingers and fries.
The kosher deli with its pickles dill
Will never be big enough to match
The hole in my heart that you used to fill
With quesadillas and spinach wraps.
Oh the sorrow! Oh the shame!
Campus not the same with no food after 10.
Finally the end of the waiting game
Renovations have brought you into my heart again.
