The big creaky wheel
A thousand years to turn
Thousand meetings, thousand emails, thousand rules
To keep things from changing
And heaven forbid
The setting of a precedent
Yet in this magisterial inefficiency
There are spaces and hiding places
For fragile weeds to bloom
And maybe bear some singular fruit
Like the FHI, a misfit prodigy
Daytime a tweedy don
At dark a superhero
Flying off into the night
Cape a-fluttering
To intercept villains and stop catastrophes
And why not base it here?
Our spandex costumes
Blend in with the scholarly gowns
Our unusual proclivities
Are shielded from ridicule
Where mortar boards are still in vogue
Thousand meetings, thousand emails, thousand rules
To keep things from changing
And heaven forbid
The setting of a precedent
