Ode to T III

Marking the departure of
University of Washington Executive Vice President
Tallman Trask III
for Duke University

We send you off
To conquer realms
Tallman Trask
With Jesse Helms.

Yes, Tallman's gone
It's just the pits
To black-eyed peas
And hominy grits.

He'll change his name
It won't be hard
From Tallman Trask
To Beauregard.

From us up North
He'll want much more
We'll have another
Civil War.

The words will flow
From Tallman's pen
The South will surely
Rise again.
