Присоединяйтесь: silly college rhymes

The rules: at least one college name should be mentioned. There should be а rhyme. Poems do not have to make sense. Making sense is a special bonus and I'll bake you "mazurka" cookies if you make sense in 6 poems (6 is my lucky number).

Beginning

Clark.
You are a mark* -
you go to Clark
(very insulating, I know, but it rhymes this way).


Bard - your lucky card.
A place to think (c),
If you are smart.
A place to sink
And fell apart
For the nose hard.
Bard...

Университет Иешива -
Учат вовсе не паршиво

Пошел в РИСДИ -
ты слишком-то не [очевидно, что дальше неприлично]

Брандейс -
В степи, где сумрачно и голо,
Где дует знойный суховей,
Я встретил как-то раз монгола,
Он мне сказал: „Азохен вей!“

— Вейс мир, земеля! — я ответил. —
Шма Исраэль, шолом шабат!
Тебя я очень кстати встретил:
Еврей монголу — друг и брат...
Игорь Иртеньев

Викторина «Вы таки знаете идиш?»   Мой результат: 8 правильных ответов из 9. Мазл тов! Вы, судя по всему, – а гройсе знаток маме-лошн. Именно для вас писали Зингер, Шолом-Алейхем и другие классики. (пройти эту викторину)

Entropy - my humble ways to struggle with it

Once in a while I'm trying to sort away / classify random bits of info I have in my possession.
I have "Willamsburgh bridge" next to "Crossing Delancey", the latter being a movie brevi recommended when we crossed the above mentioned street. I have this info written on the back of checkbook I have to toss since it's finished.

The bridge is just a bridge you showed me and Tanya, the one we couldn't cross, right?
Not a movie or a book...

OMG, you can do a lot of stuff while listening to Polonez Oginskogo on speakerphone...

1. Social work (starting annual salary: $33,400; mid-career annual salary: $41,600)
They say that crime doesn't pay. As this list seems to point out, neither does helping people. So it's a good thing that many college students seem to believe that helping others is its own reward--social workers are an indispensable safety net for people who've fallen on difficult times. And the BLS reports that the outlook for opportunities in this field are favorable--particularly for social workers who work in rural areas or with senior citizens.
