A Tale of Two Brothers

Submitted by blau16 on

MGoReadership, I’m a long time reader, and first time poster.  Inspired by the team this year, and in the middle of two Brit. Lit. classes, I thought to put my inspiration to verse:

A Tale of Two Brothers

Two brothers, Rich and Mark, their relationship quite stark

Had eyes for the same girl, the fairest in the world

They each set out to woo, for this girl would not have two

Each brother with a plan, to become this lady’s man

One, with adolescent smirk, approached her like a jerk

He raised his hands upright, and questioned there her height

The other would the Victor’s sing, and could quote the Lion King

Mark offered state-wide renown, and a clock counting down

Over Rich’s first year of dismay, Mark thought he could play

He thought to have Rich floored, with his smug billboard

Mark seemed to grow nearer, but Rich was academically superior

Rich rebounded from toil, and sold her some snake oil

The oil did she taste, and to Rich she made haste

Promising to be, his date on October three

In Spartan Stadium blazing, midst cows in pastures grazing

Danced Rich with she, her name was victory

He asked her, “Why me and not the other?”

She answered, “I always choose the older brother.”

With the title I was prepared for a "hehe MSU is LITTLE Brother LOLZ!!!!1!!" post, but honestly this was brilliant. Great job, better than those boneheads "midst cows in pastures grazing".
