The Cheshire Piper
From PiedPipersHouseOfPong

In the muted light the fine musicians play the Great Mozart
The Pied Piper is nestled at home with music, the noble art
Long gone from a Big Wrestling Guy at a place called Mines
Rather the Piper hears Amadeus and sips vintage fine wines
The glorious music crescendos as the fine wine just hits the spot
The Big Wrestling Guy said, “meet me” – yet the Piper said "not"
Grinning from “ear to ear” is the happiest Pied Piper of Pong
Rather than meet the Big Guy -- nearly the size of King Kong
The Big Wrestling Guy rudely dismissed us as just Ping Pong
Never knowing the fine sport built to a program most strong
Prior to hearing both sides the Big Fella just broke it apart
Then wanted to meet Pied Piper after it was too late to start
This story tells of how Pied Piper spewed to the "One Not Smart"
Who with Big Wrestling Mentality stabbed the Club in the heart
The Big Wrestling Guy to the Pied Piper’s belly punched a sock
Then bewildered he asked – What happened to the Pong Flock?
Bees flock to honey and the miracle of nature proves this true
Cheerleaders abound and Football Players are found there too
Where there is honey the bees will follow, but could it also be
That the reverse is true -- Could bees be driven out to the sea?
Could a Pied Piper of Pong who led them in, also lead them out?
Albeit this still a mystery, but the Big Wrestling Guy won no bout.
Whether a Pied Piper merely by name – or could this really be?
No one is sure -- but the Field House courts are empty of any bee
The music intensity heightens as the Pied Piper sips fine burgundy
Befuddled is the Big Wrestling Guy who said, "Come meet with me"
A tip of the wine glass to start the Great Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony
The Piper of Pong miles from the audacious Big Wrestling Mentality
Where Pong once flourished the Field House now like a tombstone
Pong Tables fill storage areas, and Mines students are found alone
When a Big Wrestling Guy dumps politics Pongers soon disperse
Pongers curse "One Not Smart" who put the Pong Club in a hearse
The Big Wrestling Mentality knows not the first thing of fine Pong
Smart decisions cannot be made by the one sized like King Kong
Not a soul came back for Pong to the Mines Campus Field House
It was like the night before Christmas, therein not found a mouse
The more the Big Fella sought to wring the neck of the Piper
The content smiles of Pong’s Piper grew wider and riper
The Piper nestled with music and fine wine, happy right where at
With bright, happy smile grinning “ear to ear” like a Cheshire Cat
The Pied Piper of Pong
