Listen, dear students, and you shall see The early morning rise of 700 duckies, On the Twenty-Third of October, in Twenty-Five: You all get the chance to witness live The descent of a friendly flock in all of its glory weeeee I said to my friend, “If the ducks march By land or sea to MIT to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch Of the cylindrical chapel, as a signal-light,— One if by land, and two if by sea; Three if by...the chapel moat?? How have they already reached the chapel moat?? Come! We must greet these yellow-coated travelers and welcome them into our homes! We've heard they like grapes. -Paul ReQuack
