Goodnight Moon, I Mean Literally BYU

Finals have literally taken over my life this past week.  (Please excuse my Chris Traeger gifs, I've been watching a lot of Parks and Recreation lately, and I can't help but admire his constant positivity and zeal for life.  Analysis of all Parks and Rec characters coming up never.)  But I definitely needed a break, so I took today to reflect on this past year and write a little parody of a beloved children's classic book to say goodbye to the good ol' Y.  (Don't worry, I'll be back soon.)  I may not seem sad, but I definitely am.  I just am a great planner and cried plenty at the beginning of the semester.  But now I am strangely perfectly fine.  Anyway, I wrote this parody and did not cry, and I think that is literally the best news I have heard all day.

In Helaman Halls’ rooms

There was a dorm

And a gray bathroom

And a picture of-

Jesus preaching His sermon

And there were four little friends in room 3221

And two little IDs

And a pair of trees

And a little Y hike

And a stolen bike

And a wish and a kiss and a cannon full of mush

And a quiet RA who was whispering “hush”

Goodbye rooms

Goodbye sermons

Goodbye Stover looking out at the Y

Goodbye ties

And the gray bathrooms

Goodbye friends

Goodbye 3221

Goodbye IDs

And goodbye trees

Goodbye Mays

And goodbye freshman ways

Goodbye little hike

And goodbye bike

 

Goodbye wishes

And goodbye kisses

Goodbye Stoverettes

Goodbye mush

And goodbye to the RA whispering “hush”

Goodbye Utah airs

Goodbye school cares

Goodbye memories everywhere
