Sam: Every senior is saying goodbye to COM, so I decided to as well — in a series of limericks

We have one more month ’til the end,

We will say bye to COM, old friend.

It gave us so much, time went by in a rush,

But now to adult life, we must tend.

I’ll never forget all the good times,

Learning to write well and write rhymes,

Journalism’s my calling, tho’ grad feels like free-falling,

I love you, sweet COM, long time.

COM lounge comfy seats, don’t forget me.

Daily Free Press, be my legacy.

Goodbye dining hall, I’ll hardly miss you at all,

Warren Towers, thanks for all the memories.

I’ll never forget applying ED,

I just knew this program was for me.

I found out in December, and awaited September,

When my journey through COM came to be.

I started out wanting to write,

I know, I know, that sounds trite.

But COM helped me find my voice (was that even a choice?)
And I’m now sure my future is bright.

Being a CA was the best part,

I gave it my whole, whole sweet COM heart.

I loved my groups and my tours (what’s not to adore?)

Which makes it that much harder to part.

This next verse goes out to my COM buds,

You all are such cuties and cool studs.

From my freshman year gals to all my new pals,

You’ve made me happy as pigs in the mud.

I think this stanza might be my last,

I feel as though my time’s come to pass.

I know I’m not dying, but I still feel like crying,

‘Cause I love COM, every person, every class.
