BENJ OUR DOG LIFE FRIEND
There they go
I can’t see them no mo
Benj came to live with us
Another life around me
makes breathing easier
Michael, Crystall and Benj
went for a walk in the woods
but they’ll return
and
it’s quiet now
without them
so
I’ll write
I'll think
and drink my tea
Michele is making dinner for me
and all the others
surrounding
the life of a lifeless poet

Sun shining down
On me as I sit idly
Taking in its warmth
Rain falling softly
The grey dawn approaches
Never to brighten
A cool breeze is blowing
The night is silently dark
All moves quietly
The rocks on the shore
Waves constantly pounding them
Forever struggling
The wind whispers on
Through the trees in the forest
Leaves softly rustling
Fog is like a good perfume
Cloudy and mysterious ;
It surrounds you with
A sense of being alone, but also
Of not being alone
BIG TIMES
Capitol Campus has become
famous over the spring break.
It has beep used as a location
for filming scenes from the new
movie Tuesday Night Keggar.
Tuesday Night Keggar in
volves a grinning ana rather
self-confident German Sheph
ard (Ralph Rover) for whom the
Tuesday night keggar at a local
disco) filmed on location at the
Student Center) becomes a
mecca. Here every female dog
dreams of dancing with this
far-famed dancer.* Recur
rently, Rover enhances the film
with the well-delivered line “I
work on my fur all day and they
muss it up.” Buttressing this
classic line is Rover’s inept
acting ability, especially in a
scene where he leaves his bowl
at the dinner table and storms
out the door for the local bar.
Developing the drama, a
French Poodle (Shirley Po-Po)
catches Rover’s eye. Rover
shows off as he runs round and
round in a circle on the dance
floor chasing his tail. In the
ensuing scene, Po-Po plays the
reticent poodle very well. Very
much a lady, she shuns Rover’s
verbal advances. But love
doesn’t die that easy, when
you’re a superstar like Rover.
After one exchange of sniffing
paws they fall in love.
But from the very start the
young lover’s affair seemed
doomed to fail. Po-Po invites
Rover to a pedigree dog show
where he gets physically
thrown out by a police dog.
Anyone interested in Card
io-Pulmonary Resusitation cla

office.
SEARCHING
Aways smiling,
Never laughing
She goes about her day
Always speaking,
Never talking
There’s nothing left to say
Never looking,
Always seeing
I know that’s just her way
Never finding,
Always searching
I hope in time she may
Find me
But this doesn't stop them.
Rover takes Po-Po back to the
local disco where he teaches her
to dance. Rover goes into his
tail chase and Po-Po reciproc
ates the action, spinning in the
opposite direction. They bec
ome the center of attention.
Tuesday Night Keggar is
highlighted by many smash hit
songs. Po-Po gives a howling
performance in the theme song
‘l’m in Heat Baby and I Got
You.” Rover wolfs out his latest
hit “I’m Your Daddy Dog.”
Critics expect the new film
to have a great effect on view
ers, especially college students.
Already, at some discos stud
ents are getting down on their
hands and knees chasing their
feet. The cultural committee at
Capitol Campus agreed that
this will probably be the case at
Capitol.
Capitol’s cultural committee
has been concerned that stud
ents may be getting bored with
the same thing every week.
“We considered turning the
Student Center into a mona
stary, but we weren’t quite
sure if we correctly divined the
student’s interests," a commit
tee representative said. “We
could always put a Gregorian
Chant to disco. A band such.as
Monastic Life (a group of
monks from the local insane
asylum) could play this* sort of
thmg at keggars.
