Ode to Sweet Don Quixote De La Mancha
Adedayo Ogunlana
By Miscellaneous Don Quixote Lover 2021!
you came to us at the most opportune of moments.
Emerged from the womb of the books that so opportunely found you
When your mind was fertile
And ripe for picking like a raw berry
And when you arrived you made our lives oh so merry
Plopped onto our syllabus like dessert after 3 bowls of salad(with no dressing, no croutons, no crispy jalapenos, and absolutely no crispy onions!)
And how sweet was the dessert and how somber was the ballad
That cleansed our palate from the absurdity of (sorry no rhyme here even though it wants to exist)the idea that our life isn’t as absurd as yours
You made us laugh and pity you for being so foolish and naive
But maybe we’re so naive to think that you’re naive
And not just in love with the veil that is over your eyes
Because when jesus tore the veil, the spirit descended
But the spirit was always with them in spirit.
Right. ? .
Bye Dean Lisa I thoroughly enjoyed our time together! I will see you on campus.
