[Erik Olson]

Being fully aware that this thread is by now ancient, I do not expect anyone to spot this post of mine, much less respond. Yet, I found myself diverted some moments by this drill. I came up with this ditty, which however trivial and off the cuff, I figure wouldn't hurt to post anyway. I used more than the 11 words of anatomy prescribed, and took some liberty not to employ the doctor in it, as for some reason this theme just emerged and I went with it.


A Mad Fraternity (Incorporating Words Of Anatomy)

Not like effeminate fops who sip
One glass an age, with dainty lip
We brothers gape the guzzling jaw,
The broader fount of booze to draw.
As lions rip, split crudely ribs,
We dig in, alphas claiming dibs.
Our bellowing chants hint 'break a leg'
Help one man brave one tidal-wave keg,
They roister, use no short breathed lung
Hurled deep from diaphragms nonsense rung.
The frat requires each man devote
Himself by straining dead his throat;
To tan the skin, and taint the gum:
This by football, and that by rum.
We wrestle brotherly, brawny arm
Twists arm, slammed prostrate; that's slight harm
Brushed off; not so our inner ears
That hears less as Spring Break draws near.
In each: fire shots and acids jar
Bile, flesh and phlegm intestine war
Self-waged; far worse than outer cuts
Is poison swallowed to tax our guts.
If life's equated to a river,
Drink lighter streams, dear God your liver...
