The Siren of New Haven - a poem

If you find

Yourself

Confronted, confounded

By a flurry

Of furry binary opposites:

Fierce/Tender

Lazy/Exuberant

Tenacious/Fickle

Coy/Direct

Galumphing/Graceful

Somber/Hilarious

If the

Sight of a

Wiggly lump, the

Sound of a

Hungry Wookie

Melts your heart,

If the phrases

"Bulldog in a china shop"

and

"Believe her eyes, not her teeth"

suddenly make sense,

...You have heard her call.

You have been seduced.

Bella, The antidote For even the most stubborn Case of Testosterone poisoning

Her element, The spotlight. Her drive, The win.

Heed Bella's call: Make her Yale's Inspiration.
