The T-shirt Bash

I was grading papers late last night
When suddenly I had a terrible fright
My t shirt from my closet materialized
And suddenly to my surprise

It made a splash
It did the t-shirt splash
The t-shirt splash
It was a Department smash
It did the splash
It did the t-shirt splash

From the 05 Building in the west
To Padre Sharp’s table of the truly blessed
The teachers all appeared in their purple guise
Really it was a sight for sore eyes.

They made a splash
They made a t-shirt splash
The t-shirt splash
It was a Department smash
They cut a dash
They did the t-shirt splash

Even the adjuncts were having fun;
Their chance to pay their dollars had just begun
The more people who are inspired to pay,
The more profitable we’ll make this Friday!!!!!!!!

The scene was rockin’; all were digging the shirts,
As people rolled in, in jerks and in spurts.
The gradebook-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, “The Run-On Five”

They played with dash
They raised some t-shirt cash
Lots of t-shirt cash
It was a Department smash
They played with dash
And you can add to the stash.

Out from his new digs
Big B’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the door and emerged quite damp,
He said, “All this back and forth to HT2 is giving my leg quite a cramp!”

It's now the bash
It's now the t-shirt bash
The t-shirt splash
And it’s a Department smash
It's now the bash
It's caught on in a flash
The t-shirt splash
Don't miss it or your teeth you’ll gnash

Now everything’s cool in our merry little band
And our Department splash is the hit of the land
For you, my Cooleagues, who are really true blue,
When you go to pay Dawn, tell her Ruthie sent you.

Then you can splash
You can even be rash
It’s a Department smash
It’s all happening TOMORROW
I’m not talking trash
It’s time for t-shirt cash
For t-shirt cash


Nevermore? You should be so lucky!
