The William Clark overture
Of the
Stokes Reunion
Four years ago
the remnants of the
House of Burgundy
Met in the backyard of one dawg
Down in the hail state
Of Mississippi
To lament upon the latest
Removal from the series
By some stealing Louisiana Tigers
To gnaw upon batter fried crappie
From the
Reservoir
And talk of boorish things
Like the State of the nation
The stock market
The retirement
For they lately
have no leader to turn to
To get his wise perspective
Upon the situation
It doesn't matter
The Master ingrained in them
Eternal confidence
That In the next season
The end all of all seasons with
The latest batch of signees
That Bulldog
Nation would rise so far above
This backyard in
Hattiesburg
You could see the lights
Of Dudy Noble
From even the darkest parts
Of Oxford
Awakening even
The Hail State prophet
Holed up in a Homewood cave
Awaiting the second coming.
